Book Description
Since 2001, the Gacaca community courts have been the centrepiece of Rwanda's justice and reconciliation programme. Nearly every adult Rwandan has participated in the trials, principally by providing eyewitness testimony concerning genocide crimes. Lawyers are banned from any official involvement, an issue that has generated sustained criticism from human rights organisations and international scepticism regarding Gacaca's efficacy. Drawing on more than six years of fieldwork in Rwanda and nearly five hundred interviews with participants in trials, this in-depth ethnographic investigation of a complex transitional justice institution explores the ways in which Rwandans interpret Gacaca. Its conclusions provide indispensable insight into post-genocide justice and reconciliation, as well as the population's views on the future of Rwanda itself.

Home Grown Initiatives and Nation Building in Africa
Author: Tharcisse GatwaPublisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643914237
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
The book describes a number of Rwandan post-genocide initiatives aiming at developing a common sense of identity in the population and addressing social, cultural and economic issues. This proactive approach indicates the will of the Rwandan government with the cooperation of social actors to resort to traditional - and in some cases precolonial - cultural practices to resolve the problems of nation-building. The essays are well documented; many of them based on empirical studies. Philippe Denis, Professor of History of Christianity, University of KwaZulu-Natal. Today Rwanda is widely acclaimed as a success story and a model for post-conflict reconstruction. And yet, Rwanda has not finished to surprise. This publication focuses on a specific home-grown solution, whether it be Gacaca, Ndi Umunyarwanda, Agakiriro and more. Rwanda tells its story, its experience in overcoming apparently unsurmountable challenges. The book will serve as an essential reference for any future and deeper analyses of these solutions. Joseph Gafaranga, Professor in linguistics, University of Edinburgh, UK.
