Am 6. April 1994, unmittelbar nachdem Präsident Habyarimana bei einem Flugzeugabsturz ums Leben gekommen war, begann in Ruanda ein blutiges Gemetzel. Innerhalb von 13 Wochen wurden mindestens eine halbe Million Menschen, vielleicht auch mehr, bestialisch abgeschlachtet. Die meisten Opfer zählten zur Minderheit der Tutsi, aber mit ihnen starben auch Tausende Hutu, die das Morden ablehnten oder Tutsi zu beschützen versuchten. Der Genozid war kein spontaner Ausbruch kollektiver Wut oder ethnischer Spannungen, sondern Kalkül einer kleinen, modernen Elite, die ihren Machterhalt durch die wachsende Opposition in Ruanda gefährdet sah. Die militärischen und politischen Erfolge der von Tutsi dominierten Ruandischen Patriotischen Front (RPF) lieferten den Hutu-Machthabern in Kigali einen willkommenen Vorwand, um die Kontrolle über sämtliche staatlichen Institutionen an sich zu reißen. Dabei konnten sie auf die Unterstützung von Militär und Nationalpolizei ebenso zählen wie auf regionale Behörden, Medien, Intellektuelle und Geistliche. Das vorliegende Buch stützt sich auf Interviews mit Überlebenden wie mit Tätern, mit Menschen, die andere gerettet oder es zumindest versucht haben sowie mit jenen, die wegschauten. Protokolle örtlicher Zusammenkünfte, der Schriftverkehr zwischen Verwaltungsbeamten sowie die Analyse dessen, was in Radiosendungen oder bei Versammlungen gesagt oder verschwiegen wurde, geben ein detailliertes Bild der Ereignisse von 1994. Zahlreiche Quellen, darunter Aussagen und Dokumente von Diplomaten und Mitarbeitern der Vereinten Nationen, belegen zudem das Versagen der internationalen Akteure und ihren Anteil am Völkermord in Ruanda: Frankreich, Belgien und die Vereinigten Staaten wußten ebenso wie die Vereinten Nationen von den Vorbereitungen für die Massaker. Ein entschlossenes gemeinsames Vorgehen auf politischer oder militärischer Ebene hätte das Blutvergießen höchstwahrscheinlich verhindern oder beenden können.

A History of Rwanda: From the Monarchy to Post-genocidal Justice provides a complete history of Rwanda, from the precolonial abanyiginya kingdom, through the German and Belgian colonial periods and subsequent independence, and then the devastating 1994 genocide and reconstruction, right up to the modern day. Based on extensive archival research, this book provides new insights and corrects many popular stereotypes about Rwanda, aiming to go beyond the polarized and heated debates focused on the genocide and the events that followed. Readers will get a clear and broad picture of Rwanda’s history and the social and political contexts that have defined the county from the pre-colonial period onwards. Embedding Rwanda’s history in the regional context, this book avoids simple moral judgements and instead shows where and when Rwanda differed from its neighbours and how the country’s history fits into larger debates about colonialism, genocide, ethnicity, race and development. Offering a full and balanced exploration of Rwanda’s rich and paradoxical history, this book will be an important read for researchers and students of African history, genocide studies, transitional justice, colonialism, and political and social anthropology.

Emphasizing the global nature of racism, this volume brings together historians from various regional specializations to explore this phenomenon from comparative and transnational perspectives. The essays shed light on how racial ideologies and practices developed, changed, and spread in Europe, Asia, the Near East, Australia, and Africa, focusing on processes of transfer, exchange, appropriation, and adaptation. To what extent, for example, were racial beliefs of Western origin? Did similar belief systems emerge in non-Western societies independently of Western influence? And how did these societies adopt and adapt Western racial beliefs once they were exposed to them? Up to this point, the few monographs or edited collections that exist only provide students of the history of racism with tentative answers to these questions. More importantly, the authors of these studies tend to ignore transnational processes of exchange and transfer. Yet, as this volume shows, these are crucial to an understanding of the diffusion of racial belief systems around the globe.

This collection brings together work from Memory Studies and Translation Studies to explore the role of interlingual and intercultural translation for unpacking transcultural memory dynamics, focusing on memories of violent pasts across different literary genres. The book explores the potential of a research agenda that links narrower definitions of translation with broader notions of transfer, transmission, and relocation across temporal and cultural borders, investigating the nuanced theoretical and conceptual dimensions at the intersection of memory and translation. The volume explores memories of violent pasts – legacies of war, genocide, dictatorship, and exile across different genres and media, including testimony, autobiography, novels, and graphic novels. The collection engages in central questions at the interface of Memory Studies and Translation Studies, including whether traumatic historical experiences that resist representation can be translated, what happens when texts that negotiate such memories are translated into other languages and cultures, and what role translation strategies, translators, and agents of translations play in memory across borders. The volume will be of particular interest to students and scholars in Translation Studies, Memory Studies, and Comparative Literature.

Both the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) are now about to close. Bachmann and Fatic look back at the achievements and shortcomings of both tribunals from an interdisciplinary perspective informed by sociology, political science, history, and philosophy of law and based upon on two key notions: the concepts of legitimacy and efficiency. The first asks to what extent the input (creation) of, the ICTY and the ICTR can be regarded as legitimate in light of the legal and public debate in the early 1990s. The second confronts the output (the procedures and decisions) of the ICTY and the ICTR with the tasks both tribunals were assigned by the UN Security Council, the General Assembly, and by key organs (the president and the chief prosecutors). The authors investigate to what extent the ICTY and the ICTR have delivered the expected results, whether they have been able to contribute to 'the maintenance of peace', 'stabilization' of the conflict regions, or even managed to provide 'reconciliation' to Rwanda. Furthermore, the book is concerned with how many criminals, over whom the ICTY and the ICTR wield jurisdiction, have actually been prosecuted and at what cost. Offering the first balanced and in depth analysis of the International Criminal Tribunals, the volume provides an important insight into what lessons have been learned, and how a deeper understanding of the successes and failures can benefit the international legal community in the future.

In November 2001, as the world still reeled from the attack on the Twin Towers, German historian Sonke Neitzel discovered an extraordinary cache of documents from the Second World War. The documents were the transcripts of German prisoners of war talking among themselves in prisoner of war camps, and secretly recorded by the allies. In these apparently private conversations the soldiers talked freely and openly about their hopes and fears, their concerns and their day-to-day lives. With a banality and ease which to the modern reader can appear shocking, they also talked about the horrors of war -- about rape, death and killing. Sonke Neitzel shared the material with renowned and bestselling psychologist Harald Wezler and they set about trying to make sense of the vast piles of documents, the hours of transcripts. The result is SOLDATEN, a landmark book which will change the way we look at soldiers and war, and is as relevant to our modern conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan as it was to the soldiers of the German Army in 1945. Published to huge acclaim and controversy in Germany it was a number one bestseller there and reignited the debate about the banality of evil under the Nazi regime.
