Haunted by memories of lost loved ones and of their own experiences of violence, women rebuilt their lives from "less than nothing." Neither passive victims nor innate peacemakers, they traversed dangerous emotional and political terrain to emerge as leaders in Rwanda today. This clear and engaging ethnography of survival tackles three interrelated phenomena-memory, silence, and justice-and probes the contradictory roles women played in postgenocide reconciliation. Based on more than a decade of intensive fieldwork, Genocide Lives in Us provides a unique grassroots perspective on a postconflict society. Anthropologist Jennie E. Burnet relates with sensitivity the heart-wrenching survival stories of ordinary Rwandan women and uncovers political and historical themes in their personal narratives. She shows that women's leading role in Rwanda's renaissance resulted from several factors: the dire postgenocide situation that forced women into new roles; advocacy by the Rwandan women's movement; and the inclusion of women in the postgenocide government.Honorable Mention, Aidoo-Snyder Book Prize, Women's Caucus of the African Studies Association 410 0$aWomen in Africa and the diaspora. 606 $aGenocide$zRwanda 606 $aWomen in public life$zRwanda 606 $aWomen$zRwanda$xSocial conditions 607 $aRwanda$xHistory$y1994- 607 $aRwanda$xHistory$yCivil War, 1994$xAtrocities 615 0$aGenocide 615 0$aWomen in public life 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 676 $a967.57104/31 700 $aBurnet$b Jennie E$01804406 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968658303321 996 $aGenocide lives in us$94352415 997 $aUNINA
