Rwanda After the Genocide

The Strategy of Antelopes: Rwanda After the Genocide by Jean Hatzfeld (Paperback) (ISBN: 9781846686863)

Talks with both the Hutus and Tutsis - some of the killers who had been released from prison or returned from Congolese exile, and the Tutsi escapees who must tolerate them as neighbours. This title offers an exploration of the pain of memory, the nature of hope, and the ineradicability of grief.

In two acclaimed previous works, the noted French journalist Jean Hatzfeld offered a profound, harrowing witness to the unimaginable pain and horror in the mass killings of one group of people by another in Rwanda. Now, in "The Strategy of Antelopes", he talks with both the Hutus and Tutsis he'd come to know - some of the killers who had been released from prison or returned from Congolese exile, and the Tutsi escapees who must now tolerate them as neighbours. How are they managing with the process of reconciliation? In their hearts is it possible? The enormously varied and always surprising answers he gets suggest that the political ramifications of the international community's efforts to insist on resolution after these murderous episodes are incalculable. This is an astonishing exploration of the pain of memory, the nature of hope, and the ineradicability of grief.
