| | The International Criminal Tribunal For Rwanda |
| | The present article examines the legislative history of the Statute of the Rwanda Tribunal and the impact of certain political considerations on some of its provisions. | | | Not only does the Rwanda Tribunal possess an independent character both formally and in substance, it also differs from the Yugoslav Tribunal in its political setting, that is to say in regard to the nature of the conflict which gave rise to it and in its relationship to the Government most closely concerned. | | | It is true that, in many respects, the Rwanda Tribunal is a derivative of the Yugoslav Tribunal - indeed it is questionable whether the Rwanda Tribunal would have been established without the Yugoslav precedent - but, as the present article will demonstrate, it has many individual and innovative characteristics which merit an examination and exposition. |

| | Powell's Books - Machete Season: The Killers in Rwanda Speak by Jean Hatzfeld |
| | Hatzfeld's meditation on the banal, horrific testimony of the genocidaires and what it means is lucid, humane, and wise: he relates the Rwanda horror to war crimes and to other genocidal episodes in human history. | | | But unless you can read French, this is all we have of the Rwandan genocide from the perpetrators' perspective. | | | Steering clear of politics, this important book succeeds in offering the reader some grasp of how such unspeakable acts unfolded. |

| | Bringing the Peasants Back In: Agrarian Themes in the Construction and Corrosion of Statist Historiography in Rwanda The American Historical Review, 105.3 The History Cooperative |
| | In Rwanda, however, historians were slow to focus their attention on peasants, whose histories were effectively sublimated within the history of the state and seen as part of a society that was culturally homogeneous, even if politically stratified. | | | In sum, in responding to this perceived external threat, the new "doxic" vision of Rwandan history consolidated the administrative, court, and missionary perspectives into a single secular narrative, one later to be taught in the schools, promulgated in the press, legitimated in academic works, and "confirmed" in diplomatic handbooks. | | | For the people of Rwanda, one defense against natural disasters was mobility—their access to different internal ecologies and their willingness to migrate across international boundaries, despite the vigorous attempts of the state to control such movement. |

| | slant // magazine.com: DVD Review - Hotel Rwanda |
| | Hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina's struggle to save countless individuals by hiding them inside the Des Mille Collines hotel in Kigali is documented in great detail in Gourevitch's brilliant book, and now it's the "inspirational" story behind Terry George's Hotel Rwanda, which seems to take a cue less from history than it does from Schindler's List. | | | Rounding things off: the documentary "A Message for Peace: Making Hotel Rwanda," the powerful "Return to Rwanda" (which shows footage of Rusesabagina and his wife returning to the Hotel des Milles Collines), and theatrical trailers for Hotel Rwanda, Osama, Harts War, Manic, Bowling for Columbine, and The Yes Men. | | | Though the importance of the film's subject matter cannot be underestimated, the sincere but misguided Hotel Rwanda does a disservice to the genocide in the region, reducing the atrocities in the African country to the stuff of a rote suspense thriller ( The Grudge immediately came to mind). |

| | Voices From Rwanda - History of Rwanda to 1994 |
| | The account that follows of the pre-colonial history of the country is therefore far from certain; especially since the history of Rwanda has probably been distorted by various groups to serve their own ends. | | | Rwanda was a fertile and densely populated country, but as the cash crops coffee and tea had yet to be introduced it had none of the natural resources which colonising powers were keen to plunder. | | | Rwanda became part of German East Africa at the Berlin Conference of 1885, although as there had been no official visit by any European by this time Rwandans were unaware that they had been colonised for a number of years. |

| | Other books were Jeremy Lewis' The Twa of Rwanda, which examines the history and conditions of the little known pygmis tribe who live in the rain forests of Rwanda. | | | He traces the cultural myth in Rwanda that separated the Hutus from the Tutsis, the colonial impact, the Tutsi Dynasty, the first Hutu republic from 1959 to 1990, the 1990-93 civil war, the quest for peace and democracy and finally a chronicle of the genocide in 1994. | | | Like many Rwandan history scholars, he tries to answer the question whether these are distinct ethnic groups or whether they are social-economic divisions within the Banyrwanda, akin to castes or social class. |

| | Rwandan Genocide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Rwanda had been given independence before Uganda, and the early Tutsi outcasts saw history played out in 30 years of Uganda's history, from independence from Britain, to a fledgling democracy, and on to Idi Amin and successive military overthrows. | | | Rwanda is in the process of prosecuting thousands of genocide suspects in the national courts and in informal Gacaca sessions. | | | Rwanda at that time had a seat on the Security Council and its ambassador argued that the claims of genocide were exaggerated and that the government was doing all that it could to stop it. |
