Ribara Uwariraye et al., "Survivors Uncensored: 100+ Testimonies from Survivors of the Rwandan Genocide" (2022)
Authentic, harrowing, and inspirational,\xa0Survivors Uncensored\xa0contains more than 100 recollections of events narrated by those who lived through the tragic events when Rwanda turned to darkness. The diversity of experiences sets this book apart from what has already been written about the genocide and massacres in Rwanda and the Great Lakes region of Africa. These stories bring to light the experiences of both Rwandans and non-Rwandans before, during, and after the genocide of 1994 and contribute to truth-telling, restoring justice, emancipating participants and fostering lasting peace, all while inspiring the readers.\nThis collection of memories paves the way for a traumatized region to find a healing process and work toward a society where all the perpetrators of these crimes against humanity are known and held accountable for their actions. One of the lead authors Claude Gatebuke speaks about the collection, the process of creating it, and its meaning for survivors.\nChristopher P. Davey\xa0is Visiting Assistant Professor at Clark University's Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
