Following times of great conflict and tragedy, many countries
implement programs and policies of transitional justice, none more
extensive than in post-genocide Rwanda. Placing Rwanda's
transitional justice initiatives in their historical and political
context, this book examines the project undertaken by the
post-genocide government to shape the collective memory of the
Rwandan population, both through political and judicial reforms but
also in public commemorations and memorials. Drawing on over two
decades of field research in Rwanda, Longman uses surveys and
comparative local case studies to explore Rwanda's response both at
a governmental and local level. He argues that despite good
intentions and important innovations, Rwanda's authoritarian
political context has hindered the ability of transnational justice
to bring the radical social and political transformations that its
advocates hoped. Moreover, it continues to heighten the political
and economic inequalities that underline ethnic divisions and are
an important ongoing barrier to reconciliation.
