Recenzii
'Rwanda after Genocide is an important and unique book. In a model of gender-inclusive research, Caroline Williamson Sinalo brings a deep humanity and critical vigour to her study of masculinities and femininities during and after the 1994 genocide. Drawing on revelatory and sometimes wrenching survivor testimonies, she has gleaned vital insights into the daunting challenge of 'post-traumatic growth' in Rwanda.' Adam Jones, author of Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction
'Based on extensive interviews of genocide survivors, Williamson Sinalo provocatively reconsiders how we ought to approach trauma in post-genocide Rwanda. While acknowledging the pain, suffering and loss many endured, her focus on post-traumatic growth offers a salutary complement to Western trauma theories which, too often, fail to recognize survivors' ability to reshape their lives in ways they see as more meaningful than before the genocide.' Alexandre E. Dauge-Roth, Bates College, Maine
'[T]his wise and luminous book about post-traumatic growth in Rwandan genocide survivor testimonies is essential reading for anyone interested in studying the legacies of violence in post-conflict situations.' Stef Craps, Ghent University
'Navigating both the dark and bright days seen in Rwanda, and using the 1994 genocide as the central point of analysis, Caroline Williamson Sinalo offers a sensitive look at the pain experienced since.' Ernest Mutwarasibo, University of Rwanda
'Caroline Williamson Sinalo's nuanced and complex account skewers two clichés about post-genocide Rwanda: everyday citizens lack agency and voice; and the consequences of the genocide for survivors have been exclusively negative. Analysing archival testimonies assembled by Rwandan researchers, Williamson Sinalo shows the limitations of Western theories of trauma when applied to the Rwandan context and highlights the salience of the provocative concept of 'posttraumatic growth'. This book is a must-read for anyone wanting to go beyond the black-and-white accounts of present day Rwanda and the narrow theoretical understandings of 'trauma' that currently dominate the literature.'
