This book explores how photography and documentary film have
participated in the representation of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda
and its aftermath. This in-depth analysis of professional and
amateur photography and the work of Rwandan and international
filmmakers offers an insight into not only the unique ability of
images to engage with death, memory and the need for evidence, but
also their helplessness and inadequacy when confronted with the
enormity of the event. Focusing on a range of films and
photographs, the book tests notions of truth, evidence, record and
witnessing - so often associated with documentary practice - in the
specific context of Rwanda and the wider representational framework
of African conflict and suffering. Death, Image, Memory is an
inquiry into the multiple memorial and evidentiary functions of
images that transcends the usual investigations into whether
photography and documentary film can reliably attest to the
occurrence and truth of an event.
