Review

'The account is forceful, the power of the expression shakes the soul, because it touches the greatest depth of the human being, of humanity.' Mission de L'Eglise'This tragic destiny [the genocide in Rwanda], which was received with relative indifference by the international community has inspired many books over the last few years. But for the first time, thanks to the persistence of a historian (Laure Guilbert) and a journalist (Herve Deguine), a Rwandan is given the floor to talk about Rwanda.' La Vie Nouvelle' Sibomana's book is a compelling read. It does not mince words...This book should be a textbook for students in all secondary schools in Africa' Africa World Review'Hope? For Rwanda?...It is a measure of this this remarkable book that by the end you do feel there is cause for optimism..This book leaves you in no doubt about the horror of the 1994 massacres. But it also gives you the material to explain them.' Socialist Review 'For those of us concerned with the brewing violence in our own societies (and where it might lead), for those interested in the politics of contemporary Africa or what happened in small Rwanda in the 1990s, for those active in building organisations for human rights and peace, Hope for Rwanda is a crucial, and ultimately inspiring text.' Peace News'Troubling and revealing.' Patterns of Prejudice
