The Rwandan genocide is the second most audio-visually recreated
genocide after the Holocaust, with approximately 200 films and
documentaries produced in 39 countries between 1994 and 2021.
Historical Media Memories of the Rwandan Genocide studies the
construction, the development, and the recreation of the
transnational historical media memory of the genocide against the
Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994. This is the first comprehensive work that
traces the international media image and the creation of historical
memories of the Rwandan genocide, starting with the day to day
television news reporting in 1994, and continuing with analyzes of
how the genocide has been used and recreated in film and
documentaries on a global level as well on a national level, where
Rwanda, as a nation, creates its own images of the genocide in film
and television production in order to support a new national
identity.
