This simplistic tale of good Tutsis and evil Hutus is legally enforced in Rwanda but has recently been challenged by the BBC documentary "Rwanda's Untold Story." https://vimeo.com/107867605, and by a handful of well documented books including "Rwanda and the New Scramble for Africa: From Tragedy to Useful Imperial Fiction," by Robin Philpot, "The Politics of Genocide" and "Enduring Lies: Rwanda in the Propaganda System 20 Years Later," by Ed Herman and David Peterson, "Accidental Genocide," by Peter Erlinder, "Rwanda 1994: The Myth of the Akazu Genocide Conspiracy and its Consequences," by Barrie Collins, and "Surviving the Slaughter" by Marie Beatrice Umutezi. <br /><br />Instead, The Guardian recently published a purple prose "re-review" of Phillip Gourevitch's purple prose propaganda, "We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families."Ann Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763740577715213433noreply@blogger.com
