After Genocide: Transitional Justice, Post-Conflict Reconstruction, and Reconciliation in Rwanda and Beyond (Columbia/Hurst)
In these essay, leading scholars and practitioners analyze the political, legal, and regional impact of events in post-genocide Rwanda within the broader themes of transitional justice and reconciliation. We are approaching the fifteenth anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, and mass violence continues to flare in Africa-especially in Darfur, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and northern Uganda. This volume includes chapters from top scholars, including William Schabas, René Lemarchand, Linda Melvern, Kalypso Nicolaïdis, and Jennifer Welsh, along with senior government and non-government officials involved in matters relating to Rwanda and transitional justice: Hassan Bubacar Jallow (chief prosecutor of the ICTR), Martin Ngoga (prosecutor general of the Republic of Rwanda), and Luis Moreno Ocampo, prosecutor of the International Code Council. Rwandan voices have rarely been heard speaking on the aftermath of the genocide. This anthology also incorporates contributions from Rwandan academics and practitioners, such as Tom Ndahiro, Solomon Nsabiyera Gasana, and Jean-Baptiste Kayigamba, all of whom draw on personal experience. .

The Graves Are Not Yet Full Race, Tribe And Power In The Heart Of Africa
Since 1983 journalist Bill Berkeley has traveled through Africa's most troubled lands to seek out the tyrants and military leaders who orchestrate these nations' seemingly intractable wars. Shattering once and for all the myth that ancient tribal hatreds lay at the heart of the continent's troubles, Berkeley instead holds accountable the "Big Men" who came to power during this period, describing the very rational methods behind their apparent madness. Weaving together insightful historical analysis and his own keen observations of ordinary men, women, and children struggling in the midst of terrible violence, Berkeley insists that what the world often sees as uniquely "African" interethnic troubles are in fact rooted in the international politics of colonialism and the Cold War. The Graves Are Not Yet Full provides a convincing explanation for the last half-century's cycle of revolution and genocide in Africa, detailing the stirring history of these nations' quests for peace and independence over the last seventeen years. Berkeley's incisive analysis does much to bring recent African history into sharp focus while at the same time illuminating just what it is that allows societies-wherever they may be-to accept, and sometimes embrace, violence. .
