5.0 out of 5 stars
horrific yet important,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Silence (Paperback)
Having last week been in Kigali, Rwanda as half a million refugees returned from exile in Zaire, I found this book to be extremely important to help me understand the trauma lying under the surface of these people. The photographs are stark and brutal as was the situation. This is a must read for anybody planning to work in Rwanda

5.0 out of 5 stars
Indictment and Memorial for the horrors of the genocide,
By Mwasha Bukeni (The Bush) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Silence (Paperback)
The books serves as an indictment against those who committed the atrocities during the Rwanda genocide, against those that stood by(most everyone), and those that stood in the way(the French). It also serves as a silent memorial for those who died and for all the other innocents caught in the middle and forced into refugee camps. A highly recommended accompaniment to "I wished to inform you that we will be killed tomorrow". This books stands with "The House of Bondage" by Cole, an indictment of Apartheid, and "Amin's Bloody Rule", an obvious indictment of Idi Amin, as the best photo documentaries of the hardest of times in Africa. (Amin's Bloody Rule is impossible to find, published in Uganda). |
