In April-May 1994, 800,000 Rwandan Tutsis were massacred by their
Hutu fellow citizens - about 10,000 a day - most of them hacked to
death by machete. In the late 1990s, French author and journalist
Jean Hatzfeld made several journeys into the hilly, marshy region
of Bugesara, one of the areas most devastated by the genocide. He
interviewed both killers and survivors and A Time for Machetes is
the result of his interviews with nine of the Hutu killers. Most of
the men were farmers, ordinary men. They told Hatzfeld how the work
was given to them, what they thought about it how they did it, what
their responses were to the first time they killed and what they
felt when they killed a mother and child or an acquaintance.
Hatzfeld's meditation on the banal, horrific testimony of the
killers is lucid, humane, and wise. To read this disturbing,
enlightening, brave book is to consider human morality and ethics
in a new light.
