这本关于种族灭绝后卢旺达人的民族志，调查了一个小镇的居民如何在暴力之后努力成为什么样的人。基于十年来进行的实地调查，它揭示了如何从1994年的种族灭绝，从围绕“好”人格的文化矛盾，以及从国家和公众对未来的愿景中出现相互冲突的道德要求。出现的是城镇居民自我的深刻失调。虽然他们努力成为变革的推动者，可以催化现代卢旺达国家的新时代，但他们也受到种族灭绝的破坏，并在没有亲属，朋友和邻居的情况下努力恢复自我和归属感。在绘制出的矛盾的核心，自我决策和社会生活在当代卢旺达，这本书断言一个新的论点，普通生活陷入全球冲突后的必要性，以记住和忘记，哀悼和繁荣。
This ethnography of personhood in post-genocide Rwanda investigates how residents of a small town grapple with what kinds of persons they ought to become in the wake of violence. Based on fieldwork carried out over the course of a decade, it uncovers how conflicting moral demands emerge from the 1994 genocide, from cultural contradictions around “good” personhood, and from both state and popular visions for the future. What emerges is a profound dissonance in town residents’ selfhood. While they strive to be agents of change who can catalyze a new era of modern Rwandan nationhood, they are also devastated by the genocide and struggle to recover a sense of selfhood and belonging in the absence of kin, friends, and neighbors. In drawing out the contradictions at the heart of self-making and social life in contemporary Rwanda, this book asserts a novel argument about the ordinary lives caught in global post-conflict imperatives to remember and to forget, to mourn and to prosper.
