Book Reviews of Machete Season: The Killers in Rwanda Speak
Book Review: A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW
Summary: 3 Stars
Having lived in Rwanda for four years during the peaceful days, I am always interested in any writings on this. I have read Bob Gribbin's book about the period after the genocide and found it full of substance and information. I find this book of interviews (double-spaced and in larger print) easy to read and interesting. I don't know how much the normal reader would glean of the mentality of the Rwandan people or their lives from this.
Summary of Machete Season: The Killers in Rwanda Speak
During the spring of 1994, in a tiny country called Rwanda, some 800,000 people were hacked to death, one by one, by their neighbors in a gruesome civil war. Several years later, journalist Jean Hatzfeld traveled to Rwanda to interview ten participants in the killings, eliciting extraordinary testimony from these men about the genocide they perpetrated. As Susan Sontag wrote in the preface, Machete Season is a document that "everyone should read . . . [because making] the effort to understand what happened in Rwanda . . . is part of being a moral adult."
