"In 1994, the akazu, Rwandan's political elite, planned the genocidal mass slaughter of 500,000 to 1,000,000 Tutsi and Hutu who lived in the country. Given the failure of the international community to acknowledge the genocide, in 1998, ten African authors visited Rwanda in a writing initiative that was an attempt to make partial amends ... [This book, which is divided into two sections, is first] shaped by the author's own experiences in Rwanda and [secondly] by the stories shared by survivors"--Provided by publisher.
