Transmitting Memories in Rwanda

Description

Set against the backdrop of Rwanda’s breathtaking landscapes, this poignant memoir delves deep into the nation’s darkest chapter: the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, where over a million souls were extinguished in a mere 100 days. Claver Irakoze, who narrowly escaped the clutches of this atrocity as an 11-year-old, weaves a compelling narrative of survival, resilience, and rebirth. As he and countless Rwandans of his generation navigate the complexities of parenthood in a post-genocide era, Claver confronts the daunting challenge of transmitting memories without transmitting trauma.
