Genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda: how historians reckon with the horrorRwanda will begin commemorating 30 years on Sunday since the 1994 genocide that left 800,000 people dead, most of them from the Tutsi ethnic minority. For three decades, researchers have been investigating what happened, carefully detailing accounts from the witnesses and survivors of the last mass slaughter of the 20th century.
Moreover, politician and playwright Antoine-Vincent Arnault had “published a political and military life of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1822, a year after the emperor's death".Nkaka, a professor at the University of Rwanda, has spent 30 years analysing the history of racism and racial policies in his country from the early 20th century up to the Tutsi genocide; his 2013 doctoral thesis focused on "the hold of racial logic on Rwandan society from 1894 to 1994".
For his French colleague Hélène Dumas, however, the crimes in Rwanda were a turning point in her personal life. She visited the country for the first time in 2004 to mark the 10th anniversary of the genocide. "It was a study trip, but I had no intention of becoming a historian. It was the subject that chose me. I felt an emotional shock when I discovered the traces of the genocide that remained. That was the catalyst for my investigation.
"It's not just because they represent a somewhat iconic figure of innocence, but also because children are the prime target of a genocidal policy. This is the criterion that distinguishes genocide from any other manifestation of violence."
