Abstract

Jacques Roisin s'est rendu à plusieurs reprises au Rwanda, afin de recueillir les témoignages de vingt Hutus qui ont sauvé des Tutsis lors du génocide de 1994. Dans la nuit la plus noire se cache l'humanité commence avec les témoignages de six de ces sauveteurs : Zura, l'ensorceleuse crainte des Rwandais, qui a caché des Tutsis dans sa maison et effrayé les miliciens venus pour tuer. Gisimba, harcelé pendant trois mois par les génocidaires dans son orphelinat afin qu'il livre "ses" enfants. Rachid, l'imam qui a dirigé la lutte armée des musulmans et des Tutsis de sa colline de Mabare contre les attaques répétées des Hutus fanatiques. Silas, le militaire Hutu qui, de nuit, a emmené par trois fois des groupes de Tutsis vers le Burundi. Edison, l'ex-génocidaire des années 70 qui a caché des familles de Tutsis et organisé un réseau de résistance. Ezéchiel, le commerçant aisé qui a dépensé sa fortune pour corrompre les génocidaires et épargner ainsi les Tutsis de sa colline. Dans la seconde partie, l'auteur commente la conduite de vingt sauveteurs hutus. Il présente le contexte historique de la fanatisation et de la haine anti-Tutsis et les différentes formes d'opposition au génocide rencontrées au Rwanda. Puis il aborde une réflexion approfondie sur la question de la sollicitude humaine, autrement dit : comment le bien et le mal, comment l'humanité viennent-ils à l'être humain ?

Abstract

Based on thorough ethnographic fieldwork in a refugee camp in Tanzania this book provides a rich account of the benevolent "disciplining mechanisms" of humanitarian agencies, led by the UNHCR, and of the situated, dynamic, indeterminate, and fluid nature of identity (re)construction in the camp. While the refugees are expected to behave as innocent, helpless victims, the question of victimhood among Burundian Hutu is increasingly challenged, following the 1993 massacres in Burundi and the Rwandan genocide. The book explores how different groups within the camp apply different strategies to cop

Abstract

In 1994, the Akazu, Rwandan's political elite, planned the genocidal mass slaughter of 500,000 to 1,000,000 Tutsi and Hutu who lived in the country. Given the failure of the international community to acknowledge the genocide, in 1998, ten African authors visited Rwanda in a writing initiative that was an attempt to make partial amends. Abdourahman A. Waberi claims, "Language remains inadequate in accounting for the world and all its turpitudes, words can never be more than unstable crutches, staggering along . . . And yet, if we want to hold on to a glimmer of hope in the world, the only miraculous weapons we have at our disposal are these same clumsy supports." Shaped by the author's own experiences in Rwanda and by the stories shared by survivors, Harvest of Skulls stands twenty years after the genocide as an indisputable resource for discussions on testimony and witnessing, the complex relationship between victims and perpetrators, the power of the moral imagination, and how survivors can rebuild a society haunted by the ghost of its history.--

Abstract

The shocking characteristics of Rwanda's genocide in 1994 have etched themselves indelibly on the global conscience. The Path to Genocide in Rwanda combines extensive, original field data with some of the best existing evidence to evaluate the myriad theories behind the genocide and to offer a rigorous and comprehensive explanation of how and why it occurred, and why so many Rwandans participated in it. Drawing on interviews with over three hundred Rwandans, Omar Shahabudin McDoom systematically compares those who participated in the violence against those who did not. He contrasts communities that experienced violence early with communities where violence began late, as well as communities where violence was limited with communities where it was massive. His findings offer new perspectives on some of the most troubling questions concerning the genocide, while also providing a broader engagement with key theoretical debates in the study of genocides and ethnic conflict.

Abstract

In 1994, almost one million ethnic Tutsis were killed in the genocide in Rwanda. In the aftermath of the genocide, some of the top-echelon Hutu officers who had organized the genocide fled Rwanda to the eastern Congo (DRC) and set up a new base for military operation, with the goal of retaking power in Kigali, Rwanda. More than twenty years later, these rebel forces comprise a diverse group of refugees, rebel fighters, and civilian dependents who operate from mountain areas in the Congo forests and have a long and complex history of war and violence. While media and human rights reports typically portray this rebel group as one of the most brutal rebel factions operating in the eastern Congo region, Hutu Rebels paints a more complex picture.Having conducted ethnographic fieldwork in a rebel camp located deep in the Congo forest, Anna Hedlund explores the micropolitics and practices of everyday life among a community of Hutu rebel fighters and their families, living under the harshest of conditions. She describes the Hutu fighters not only as a military unit with a vision of return to Rwanda but also as a community engaged in the present Congo conflicts. Hedlund focuses on how fighters and their families perceive their own life conditions, how they remember and articulate the events of the genocide, and why they continue to fight in what appears to be an endless conflict. Hutu Rebels argues that we need to move beyond compiling catalogs of atrocities and start examining the "ordinary life" of combatants if we want to understand the ways in which violence is expressed in the context of a most brutal conflict.
