Genocide in Rwanda: A Collective Memory

During the hundred days between early April and mid July 1994, nearly a million Rwandans were murdered by their own compatriots at the order of their own government. This collection of voices of Rwandans who survived presents an examination of the cyclical violence and the culture of impunity that culminated in genocide. Contributors include journalists, academics, activists, members of government, and ordinary people. The editors were residents in Kigali when the genocide began in April 1994. Based on material presented at a January 1995 conference held in Kigali, Rwanda. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
