More about the book
Exploring the aftermath of Rwanda's genocide, this book delves into the experiences of ordinary rural citizens regarding government policies aimed at fostering national unity. Through interviews, it reveals widespread distrust among the poorest citizens towards local officials and highlights their concerns over pressing issues like land and employment. The narrative uncovers a subtle form of resistance among the disenfranchised, suggesting that celebrated postgenocide policies lack the grassroots support necessary for lasting peace and reconciliation.
