- The first book to assess the role of fiction in building and maintaining cultural memory of the Rwanda genocide. Supported by a Leverhulme Research Fellowship and an AHRC Research Grant, it addresses literature written by Rwandan authors, primarily in French, across a period of 20 years. Exploring anew the complexities of post-conflict Rwanda, it examines the status of literature and literary publics, which relied on direct engagement with a new realm of cultural activity in Rwanda. Its analysis of local responses moves on from a Eurocentric emphasis on trauma and is built from extended contact with Rwandan culture. 224pp.
