  • af Philip Briggs
    227,95 kr.

    Now into its seventh edition, and written by Philip Briggs, the world's leading writer of guidebooks to Africa, Bradt's Rwanda has been the go-to guide for visitors to this historical and resurgent `land of a thousand hills' for nearly two decades, and it continues to be in a class of its own when it comes to in-depth information on this emerald slice of Central Africa. With freshly researched and updated details on developments across the country, Bradt's Rwanda includes information on the ongoing revival and rhino repopulation of Akagera National Park, up-to-date maps of rapidly modernising Kigali, and a newly expanded chapter on excursions into the neighbouring DRC. In this new edition are extensive and recently updated maps and natural history information, details of kayak and canoe excursions on Lake Kivu and the Mukungwa River, all you need to know about tracking not only mountain gorillas in Rwanda in Volcanoes National Park but also lowland gorillas in Congo, and information about overnight stays on a tea plantation at Sorwathe or Gisovu. Also covered are Nyungwe Forest National Park, where a wealth of endemic birds and primates inhabit the largest surviving montane forest in East Africa; Nyanza, where the hilltop Rukari Palace Museum marks the site of the old Mwami's (King's) palace; and the National Museum of Rwanda, the top cultural site in Rwanda's second city, Huye. Coverage of nearby cities and national parks in the neighbouring DRC has been expanded since the last edition, providing all the necessary information to take a thrilling and increasingly popular excursion into Rwanda's enormous and poorly understood neighbour. Rwanda continues to change and develop at an unprecedented pace, and there's hardly a more accessible slice of Africa to be found anywhere on the continent. It's no less intriguing for the convenience, however, and Rwanda's superlative natural attractions seem to improve by the day.

    310,95 kr.

    En personlig beretning fra et modsætningsfyldt kontinent, som rummer konflikter og krig, men også håb og tro på fremtiden. Jørn Stjerneklar er fotograf, kameramand og journalist. Han har arbejdet i mere end 80 lande - specielt i Afrika, hvor han har boet i tredive år. I "Hjertet glemmer ikke, hvad øjet har set" fortæller han om 40 års rejser i Afrika, hvor han og hans kone Helle Maj bl.a. har rapporteret fra det første demokratiske valg i Namibia i 1989, fra borgerkrigen i Mozambique Zimbabwe, om opgøret med apartheid-systemet i Sydafrika og om folkedrabet på tutsierne i Rwanda i 1994. Han fortæller også om sit første møde med Afrika, da han lander i Nairobi i 1980, og hvordan han og Helle Maj vælger at bo i Sydafrika og starter Mayday Press. Indimellem er det en rystende fortælling, men den båret af forfatterens dybe kærlighed til Afrika og de mennesker, han møder på sin vej.

    Folkedrabet i Rwanda er en lærebog til faget historie på ungdomsuddannelserne. Bogen sætter fokus på folkedrabet i Rwanda i 1994 og kan bruges som alternativ til holocaust og De røde Khmerer, når undervisningstemaet er folkemord, dets årsager og konsekvenser. Bogen indeholder også kernestof som de store ideologier, koloniseringen og dens konsekvenser samt kulturmøder og -forskelle.Bogen analyserer landets udvikling fra før og under kolonitiden til det selvstændige Rwanda. Den giver en række forklaringer på, hvorfor og hvordan et af historiens mest effektive folkedrab kunne finde sted over blot tre måneder med 800.000 dræbte til følge. Folkedrabet i Rwanda går i dybden med såvel de internationale som de nationale konsekvenser af folkemordet og ikke mindst med, hvordan man i Rwanda har forsøgt at forsone en befolkning, hvor naboer fra den ene dag til den anden blev dødelige fjender.Den kronologiske gennemgang af folkedrabet og tiden efter rammes ind af teori- og metodekapitler om, hvordan eleverne kan arbejde med folkedrab, hvad et folkedrab er, historien bag FN’s folkedrabskonvention, perspektiveringer til andre folkedrab og forslag til undervisningsforløb, der kan spænde fra en enkelt til tyve lektioner.Morten Severin er historielærer ved Vesthimmerlands Gymnasium og HF. Han har gennem mange år undervist i emnet folkedrab og har skrevet lærervejledninger til emnet for folkedrab.dk/DIIS.

    165,95 kr.

    Romanen var nomineret til Augustprisen i Sverige i 2017. Motiveringen lød:"Gassilewski kaster os ind i et af menneskehedens mørkeste øjeblikke, folkemordet i Rwanda i 1994. Samme historie fortælles igen og igen i forskellige stemninglejer, fra forskellige udsigts- og fortællerperspektiver. Volden i folkemordet siver langsomt ind i teksten og ved bogens slutning helt nærværende. En intensiv fortælling om menneskelighed, om nedarvet og kolonialt frembragt had, men også om afhængigheden af nære relationer." "Hvad denne mærkelige, lige så suggestive som ubehagelige roman til sidst formidler, er en stærk følelse af værdighed. Hvordan omstændighederne ofte er sådan, at den går tabt. Og hvordan mennesker så, overalt og til alle tider, vender sig om og mindes hvordan det var, da den stadig fandtes." Dagens Nyheter"Mesterlig prosa, hvor billederne af rædslerne vokser i kompleksitet gennem portrættet af Marie-Louise. Vi lærer hende at kende fra barndommen frem til 2007, hvor hun er 32 år gammel og stilles for bydomstolen... Jeg har sjældent læst en bog og været så storøjet forskræmt, ligesom stresset."

    "In the year 2019 Rwanda marked twenty-five years after the genocide against the Tutsi. Sadly, Catholic priests and nuns were complicit - or even participated in the killing of an estimated 800,000 ethnic Tutsis. Thousands of people were slaughtered in Catholic Churches where they took refuge. For example, 5000 people are estimated to have been killed at the Ntarama Catholic Church in August 1994. In March of 2017, Pope Francis issued an apology, remarking that "the sins and failings of the Church and its members," had "disfigured the face" of Catholicism." This statement recognized that the Catholic Church's role in the genocide has implicated the entire Church and is an invitation to reimagine the very essence of the meaning of the Church, theology in its multiple dimensions, the missionary enterprise, the mission of the Church, and the place of human dignity in the Catholic faith. The task of rethinking what it means to be the Church and restoring fraternal identity as Christians in post-genocide Rwanda is thus crucial if theology is to make sense again. This is particularly imperative in as much as theology is compelled to reflect upon the very evils that have disfigured the Church's image and people's identity, namely the evils of sin, suffering, the indifference of bystanders, the increasing number of genocide deniers, the complexity of memory, the lack of credible and prophetic leadership that invites a new way of thinking about theology. This book brings together bishops, theologians, historians, and other scholars to reflect on how the Rwandan Catholic Church can restore fundamental peace and rebuild lasting reconciliation"--

    Jamey Glasnovic's meandering journey to find solace in a chaotic world has already led him across three continents. Now, he finds himself in East Africa.As an atypical adventurer, Jamey Glasnovic was never likely to cross the high Arctic in search of records or glory or attempt new and audacious routes up remote peaks with hopes of writing his name in the annals of mountaineering lore. Truth be told, a dive bar in Kathmandu or Dar es Salaam counts as a good day out for this laid-back adventure enthusiast. But, a profound belief in the power of landscape continues to motivate him. A sense of place and a desire to understand the connection all humans have to their surroundings are what compel him to explore foreign cultures and unfamiliar terrain.In his third book, Everything Is Poa (poa means good in Swahili), Glasnovic commits to testing his physical limits beyond the comfort zone of the pub. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro went a long way in accomplishing that goal. But, it was the misadventures on his bicycle in Tanzania and Rwanda that helped define the journey. The warm and generous people he met along the way, along with the spectacular wildlife that is part of the African continent's allure, are what stole his heart in the end.

    "Challenging assumptions regarding the strength and control of authoritarian governments in Rwanda in the decades before the 1994 genocide, Marie-Eve Desrosiers uses original archival data and interviews to highlight the complex relations between authorities, opponents, and society. Through careful, detailed analysis Desrosiers offers a nuanced assessment of the functions and evolution of authoritarianism over time, demonstrating how the governments of Rwanda's first two post-independence Republics (1962- 1990) sought and often struggled to cement their rule. Whilst the deeper, lived realities of authoritarianism are generally neglected by multicases comparisons at the heart of comparative authoritarian studies, this illuminating survey highlights the essential, yet subtle authoritarian strategies, patterns, and forms of decay that are too often overlooked when addressing authoritarian contexts"--

    Essay from the year 2019 in the subject History - Africa, grade: 5.0, Mount Kenya University, language: English, abstract: This essay focuses on the United Nations¿ and the world¿s greatest powers¿ role during the Rwandian civil war and genocide in 1994.In 1994 Rwanda was involved in a civil war between its two major ethnic groups, Hutu and Tutsi. The civil war results in a genocide where 800,000 people were killed within 100 days. United Nations and world superpowers are primarily blamed for not doing enough to prevent the genocide from occurring. In this research, the author answers the question where the UN failed in preventing the Rwandan civil war as well as genocide in 1994. The study demonstrates that the UN failed in its mandate of stopping the genocide. Most of the United Nations member¿s states failed to show their responsibility and preparedness to send material or troop to the genocide. Also, the research shows that the peacekeeping mission sent to Rwanda was ill-prepared and lacked the appropriate commanding structure to effectively respond to the killings that were taking place in the country. Thus, the genocide that occurred in Rwanda in 1994 can squarely be blamed on failures of the UN to prevent and respond to the civil war effectively.The genocide in Rwanda is perhaps one of the most intensive killing campaigns to take place in human history after the Second World War. The Rwanda genocide came as a result of ethnic division which was not a feature of Rwandan society before the establishment of colonial rule. Initially, Rwanda was colonized by Germans, but it was taken over by Belgium which came up with the divide and rule policy to control Rwanda.

    Lieve Joris has long been considered "one of the best journalists in the world" (Liberation, France) and in The Rebels' Hour she illuminates the dark heart of contemporary Congo through the prism of one lonely, complicated man--a rebel leader named Assani who becomes a high-ranking general in the Congolese army. As we navigate the chaos of his lawless country alongside him, the pathologically evasive Assani stands out in relief as a man who is both monstrous and sympathetic, perpetrator and victim.

    På bare 100 dage blev næsten 1 million mennesker slagtet i Rwanda i det, mange betragter som det glemte folkemord. I LANDET MED DE BLODIGE BAKKER følger vi en lille gruppe FN-soldater, der passivt må se til, mens landet omkring dem opløses i mord og tragedie. Vi møder også den unge tutsi-mor, Nadege, der sammen med sin søn desperat forsøger at undslippe macheterne, samtidig med hun til sin rædsel oplever, at hendes hutu-mand vender sig mod dem. Tusindvis af tutsier på flugt søger hjælp hos FN, men til trods for den ekstreme situation får alle FN-soldater ordre om at trække sig omgående ud af Rwanda. Det efterlader gruppen af soldater, anført af den karismatiske kaptajn Jack Truel, i et voldsomt dilemma. Skal de følge ordre eller følge deres hjerter? For Nadege udvikler flugten sig katastrofalt, da hun indfanges af en af de mest blodtørstige og brutale hutu-generaler. LANDET MED DE BLODIGE BAKKER er et brag af en debutroman fyldt med spænding, store følelser og ikke mindst en hæsblæsende slutning, hvor forfatteren, Pablo Hamburger, i sand Quentin Tarantino-stil lader handlingen tage en uventet drejning: For hvad nu hvis, nogen havde handlet anderledes, ville lige så meget blod være blevet spildt i det smukke land kendt for sine tusinde bakker?
