| description |
The author demonstrates how a comparative approach involving the
Holocaust, has greatly influenced our knowledge of the genocide of the Tutsi
committed in Rwanda in the spring of 1994. The “Hutu vs. Tutsi” formula, as
well as the generally accepted concept of the Tutsi being Black Africa's Jews,
helped create a genocidal ideology, that appeared several decades before the
tragedy of 1994. Beyond such parallelism, the author forces us to re-consider
how genocidal violence makes us re-think our existing intellectual and conceptual frameworks. In particular, the group identity of the victims, i.e. as a
people, a race, or a “conceptual race”? The author finally suggests we should
differentiate clearly between “to know and to understand”. Kalisky argues that
to understand is quite inadequate when a policy of genocide is applied. This,
since it seems to justify it, and uses such inexistent justification when it only
has causes. |
