Reviews
Advance praise: 'Rwanda after Genocide is an important and unique book. In a model of gender-inclusive research, Caroline Williamson Sinalo brings a deep humanity and critical vigour to her study of masculinities and femininities during and after the 1994 genocide. Drawing on revelatory and sometimes wrenching survivor testimonies, she has gleaned vital insights into the daunting challenge of 'posttraumatic growth' in Rwanda.' Adam Jones, author of Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction, Advance praise: 'Caroline Williamson Sinalo's nuanced and complex account skewers two clichs about post-genocide Rwanda: everyday citizens lack agency and voice; and the consequences of the genocide for survivors have been exclusively negative. Analysing archival testimonies assembled by Rwandan researchers, Williamson shows the limitations of Western theories of trauma when applied to the Rwandan context and highlights the salience of the provocative concept of 'posttraumatic growth'. This book is a must-read for anyone wanting to go beyond the black-and-white accounts of present day Rwanda and the narrow theoretical understandings of 'trauma' that currently dominate the literature.' Phil Clark, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London

Synopsis
In the 1994 Rwanda genocide, around 1 million people were brutally murdered. Through analysing their testimonies, this book explores the ways Rwandans have rebuilt their lives, paying particular attention to the relationship between posttraumatic growth and gender and examining it within the wider frames of colonialism and cultural practices., In the 1994 Rwanda genocide, around 1 million people were brutally murdered in just thirteen weeks. This book offers an in-depth study of posttraumatic growth in the testimonies of the men and women who survived, highlighting the ways in which they were able to build a new, and often enhanced, way of life. In so doing, Caroline Williamson Sinalo advocates a new reading of trauma: one that recognises not just the negative, but also the positive responses to traumatic experiences. Through an analysis of testimonies recorded in Kinyarwanda by the Genocide Archive of Rwanda, the book focuses particularly on the relationship between posttraumatic growth and gender and examines it within the wider frames of colonialism and traditional cultural practices. Offering a striking alternative to dominant paradigms on trauma, the book reveals that, notwithstanding the countless tales of horror, pain, and loss in Rwanda, there are also stories of strength, recovery, and growth.
