Based on oral history testimony, issues related to healing, forgiveness, reconciliation, and justice are addressed in separate chapters-drawing directly on the experience and perceptions of survivors. The essence of genocide, argue the authors, is a rupture in the moral values that structure everyday life. Therefore, trauma must be addressed at both a personal and societal level, rebuilding structures of trust, compassion, and empathy within a political context that is safe, secure, and just. The contribution of this book is that it examines genocide holistically, describing patterns of discrimination before the genocide, political dynamics during the civil war, patterns of killing, including rape and sexual violence, and the attempt to regain one's humanity after the genocide"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Genocide survivors |zRwanda |xPsychological aspects. 650 0 Tutsi (African people) |xCrimes against |zRwanda |xPsychological aspects. 650 0 Widows |zRwanda |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Children and genocide |zRwanda |xHistory |y20th century. 651 0 Rwanda |xHistory |yCivil War, 1994. 650 7 Children and genocide. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00855227 650 7 Widows. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01174951 651 7 Rwanda. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01212358 647 7 Rwandan Civil War |c(Rwanda : |d1994) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01352318 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 Personal narratives. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423843 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Personal narratives. |2lcgft 700 1 Miller, Lorna Touryan, |econtributor. 700 1 Miller, Arpi Misha, |d1976- |econtributor. 776 08 |iOnline version:Miller, Donald E.
