Waiting for the Sunrise
This is a personal account of an interracial familys struggle against pervasive racism in the U.S. and the horrors of the civil war that plagued Rwanda in 1994. Raised in the American Midwest, author Elizabeth Gatorano, who is White, had no idea of the trials she would face after marrying Phanuel, who is Black and an immigrant to the U.S. from Rwanda. Prejudice against their marriage followed them and their children wherever they went, often making them the focus of racist discrimination and threats of violence at home and at work. Throughout these ordeals, Liz and Phanuel responded to hostility with love and patience, their faith in each other and in God remaining unshakable, even in the darkest hours. Together, they overcame all obstacles in their path, and they continue to help those in need today.

Le génocide des Tutsi Rwanda, 1994 : Lectures et écritures
Cet ouvrage espère très humblement fournir des pistes de réflexion sur un sujet des plus graves qui soit. Il entend revisiter avec les lecteurs les racines d'un mal hérité d'un courant de pensée colonial et qui a donné lieu aux pires atrocités. Les auteurs explorent, d'une part, diverses avenues afin de saisir les enjeux juridiques, sociaux et politiques qui ont permis que des êtres humains veuillent exterminer leurs semblables ; d'autre part, ils se penchent aussi et surtout sur les indispensables préalables qui permettront aux survivants de refaire confiance au monde. La reconnaissance des torts est sans doute la pierre angulaire qui rend envisageable la reconstruction de soi et l'ultérieure réconciliation avec le monde extérieur. Les auteurs s'intéressent ainsi à l'articulation de paroles en souffrance (celles des survivants), recueillies dans des entrevues, dans des tribunaux gacaca, dans des forums sur Internet ou encore dans des récits de témoignage.
The Global Impact of Religious Violence
Acts of terror are everywhere! Not one day goes by without hearing about the latest suicide bomb in Baghdad, knife stabbing in Germany, or shooting spree in France or in the United States. A Christian extremist preacher claims that homosexuals deserve to die because he considers their lifestyle to be sinful; groups like ISIS perpetrate genocide against religious minorities and call for global jihad against infidels; Buddhist monks in Myanmar persecute the Rohingya for fear that the Muslim minority destroy their country and religion. All these actions seem to be somehow religiously motivated, where the actors claim to act in accordance with their beliefs. In the midst of this spiral of violence seen across traditions and geographical locations, there is a pressing need to understand why people act as such in the name of their faith. The Global Impact of Religious Violence examines why individuals and groups sometimes commit irremediable atrocities, and offers some solutions on how to counter religiously inspired violence.

Showtime
Warum stellen einige politische Gewalttäter ihre Taten öffentlich und spektakulär zur Schau? Lee Ann Fujii geht dieser Frage anhand von drei extremen Gewaltereignissen nach: der Ermordung einer Tutsi-Familie während des Völkermords in Ruanda, der Hinrichtung muslimischer Männer in einem serbisch kontrollierten Dorf in Bosnien während der Balkankriege und des Lynchmords an einem schwarzen Landarbeiter an der Ostküste von Maryland im Jahr 1933. Fujii zeigt mit diesen Beispielen, dass es bei demonstrativer Gewalt immer auch darum geht, Einfluss auf die Umstehenden, auf Nachbarschaften oder gar ganze Bevölkerungen zu gewinnen. Das Zuschauen und die Teilnahme an diesen Gewaltspektakeln v...
CARNAGE D'UNE NATION
" Dans ma commune natale et dans toutes les régions du Rwanda où le destin m'entraîna en 1994, j'ai vu le crime succéder au crime, l'impunité à l'impunité, l'arbitraire à l'arbitraire. J'ai vu un pays sinistré, aux collines dépeuplées, un beau pays devenu champ de ruines. J'ai vu un pays de veuves et d'orphelins, de prisonniers et de maîtres. J'ai vu une Nation physique et morale mutilée, humiliée et prisonnière ". Dans cette même commune de Murara, en février 2002, a débuté le jugement populaire local dit gacaca : les aveux des coupables suscitent le pardon des victimes et familles et deuils, avec la réconciliation possible en filigrane.
