“Presents a critical and insightful analysis of the politics of history in post-genocide Rwanda. … This book is best suited for readers who have experience or prior background in Rwandan history because it presents more complicated frameworks, aspects of history, and narratives about post-genocide Rwanda. … this book will provide a fascinating and refreshing look at the politics of history present in Rwanda, and a nuanced view of the challenges of confronting official narratives that have arisen since 1994.” (Samantha Lakin, Oral History Forum d’histoire Orale, Vol. 37, 2017)
