| Résumé/Présentation | "[...] Based on over a decade of intensive fieldwork, Genocide Lives in Us provides a unique grassroots perspective on a postconflict society. Anthropologist Jennie E. Burnet relates ordinary Rwandan women?s heart-wrenching stories of survival with sensitivity and uncovers political and historical themes in their personal narratives. Allowing the silenced voices of ordinary women to be heard, Burnet sheds light on women?s incredible resilience. She concludes that women?s leading role in Rwanda?s renaissance emerged from the dire post-genocide situation that forced women into new roles, from advocacy by the Rwandan women?s movement, and from the inclusion of women in the postgenocide government."
