Burundi, like Rwanda, Congo, and Uganda, is linked to patterns
of recurrent genocidal violence that have shaped events in the
African Great Lakes region. In Gender and Genocide in Burundi,
Patricia O. Daley argues that sexual patterns of violence have
become more pervasive as male and Western-dominated cultures of
impunity devalue lives across the region. In her view, only a
revised feminist-historical approach to understanding violence and
a reformed peace process, on local as well as international levels,
will bring genocide to an end. By bringing gender to bear, Daley
breaks down divisions at places where violence or social injustice
has been reproduced in the past and illustrates how the protracted
nature of oppression, warfare, and endemic violence can come to an
end. Daley's unique insight into the politics of genocide shows how
a new gender-oriented paradigm that emphasizes rights and humanity
can make "never again" a reality.
