How does gender shape responses to both literal and structural violence, including implicit linguistic, familial, and cultural violence? How might writing or other works of art contribute to healing? Art from Trauma: Genocide and Healing beyond Rwanda explores the possibility of art as therapeutic, capable of implementation by mental health practitioners crafting mental health policy in Rwanda. This anthology ofscholarly, personal, and hybrid essays was inspired by scholar and activistChantal Kalisa (1965-2015).At the commemoration of the nineteenth anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda, organized by the Rwandan Embassy in Washington DC, Kalisagave a presentation, "Who Speaks for the Survivors of the Genocide against Tutsi?" Kalisa devoted her energy to giving expression to those whose voices had been distorted or silenced.The essaysin this anthology address how the production and experience of visual, dramatic, cinematic, and musical arts, in addition to literary arts, contribute to healing from the trauma of mass violence, offering preliminary responses to questions like Kalisa's and honoring her by continuing the dialogue in which she participated with such passion, sharing the work of scholars and colleagues in genocide studies, gender studies, and francophone literatures. 606 $aTransitional justice 606 $aArts and society 606 $aGenocide$zRwanda 606 $aGenocide$xSociological aspects 606 $aGenocide$xPsychological aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTransitional justice. 615 0$aArts and society. 615 0$aGenocide 615 0$aGenocide$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aGenocide$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a304.6/63 702 $aHerndon$b Gerise 702 $aGallimore$b Rangira Be?atrice 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955808403321 996 $aArt from Trauma$94351934 997 $aUNINA
