After the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, victims, perpetrators, and the
country as a whole struggled to deal with the legacy of the mass
violence. The government responded by creating a new version of a
traditional grassroots justice system called gacaca. Bert
Ingelaere, based on his observation of two thousand gacaca trials,
offers a comprehensive assessment of what these courts set out to
do, how they worked, what they achieved, what they did not achieve,
and how they affected Rwandan society. Weaving together vivid
firsthand recollections, interviews, and trial testimony with
systematic analysis, Ingelaere documents how the gacaca shifted
over time from confession to accusation, from restoration to
retribution. He precisely articulates the importance of popular
conceptions of what is true and just. Marked by methodological
sophistication, extraordinary evidence, and deep knowledge of
Rwanda, this is an authoritative, nuanced, and bittersweet account
of one of the most important experiments in transitional justice
after mass violence.
