Complexities and dangers of
and forgetting in rwanda
Can a society, a culture, a country, be trapped by its own memories? The question
is not easy to answer, bur it would not be a bad idea to cautiously say: It depends .
This book is about one society
-
Rwanda
-
and its culture, traditions, identities, and
memories. More specifically, it discusses some of the ways in which ethnic identities
and related memories constitute a deadly trap that needs to be torn apart if mass
violence is to be eradicated in that country. It looks into everyday cultural practices
such
лѕ
child naming and oral traditions (myths and tales, proverbs, war poetry etc.)
and into political practices that govern the ways in which citizens conceptualise the
past.
Rwanda was engulfed in a bloody war from
1990
until
1994,
the last episode of
which was a genocide that claimed about a million lives amongst die Tutsi minority.
This book
-
the first in the Memory Traps series
-
provides a new understanding of
how a seemingly quiet society can suddenly turn into a scene of the most horrible
inter-ethnic crimes. It otk-rs an analysis of the complexities and dangers resulting
from the wavs in which
memodes
arc managed both at a personal level and at
α
collective level.
The main point i> that Rwandans have become hostages of their memories of the
long-gone and the
rečeni
past.
1
Ik- book shows bow these memories follow ethnic
lines and lead to a state of cultural hypocrisy on the- one hand, and to permanent
conflict
-
either open and brutal, or latent and beneath the surface
-
on the othet
hand. Written
trom
a memory studies perspective and informed by critical theory,
philosophy, literature, |oral| history, and psychology, amongst others,
dus
book
deals with some controversial subject and di-construct-
-unu-
of the
received ideas about the recent and the I» nc past of Rwanda.
