In the 1994 Rwanda genocide, around 1 million people were brutally
murdered in just thirteen weeks. This book offers an in-depth study
of posttraumatic growth in the testimonies of the men and women who
survived, highlighting the ways in which they were able to build a
new, and often enhanced, way of life. In so doing, Caroline
Williamson Sinalo advocates a new reading of trauma: one that
recognises not just the negative, but also the positive responses
to traumatic experiences. Through an analysis of testimonies
recorded in Kinyarwanda by the Genocide Archive of Rwanda, the book
focuses particularly on the relationship between posttraumatic
growth and gender and examines it within the wider frames of
colonialism and traditional cultural practices. Offering a striking
alternative to dominant paradigms on trauma, the book reveals that,
notwithstanding the countless tales of horror, pain, and loss in
Rwanda, there are also stories of strength, recovery, and growth.
