Living through extended liminality
In Rwanda, following the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, meting out justice on suspected génocidaires has resulted in the need to reintegrate an unprecedent number of ex-prisoners, a process that continues even now, three decades later. Doing so in a society that still bears scars of this genocide, but which is also experiencing drastic social transformation, is a complex matter. Qualitative research carried out in the framework of a community-b…
Domestic Pedagogies of Peace and Conflict in Rwandan and Banyamulenge Refugee Communities in Rwanda
This article investigates domestic pedagogies of peace and conflict, as teaching and learning about violence in families affected by genocide and war may contribute to how ordinary people break cycles of conflict or enable its continuities. We draw on focused ethnographic research with two communities affected by genocide and violence: Rwandans and Banyamulenge refugees living in Rwanda. We found distinct patterns in respective communities, with …
In the Shadow of a Parent’s Genocidal Crimes in Rwanda
In Rwanda, following the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, many people were found guilty of genocide crimes and imprisoned. Their children ended up in a situation of ambiguous loss during and after a parent’s imprisonment. The article presents the multidimensional impact of this loss on the everyday lives of these children and their families according to key themes as they emerged from an ethnographic study in which 21 children and their family me…
The 'good life', personal appearance, and mental health of Congolese refugees in Rwanda and Uganda
They tell us little and we end up being confused
In the current study we explore how Rwandan youth negotiate, within the family setting, a myriad of social and interpersonal dilemmas around silence and disclosure of genocide-related experiences of their parents. The study draws primarily on individual interviews and focus group discussions with 20 children of genocide survivor and perpetrator parents in the western and eastern provinces of Rwanda. Using the conceptual framework of social naviga…
Exploring the mental health and psychosocial problems of Congolese refugees living in refugee settings in Rwanda and Uganda
Our findings strongly resonate with models of mental health and psychosocial wellbeing that emphasise their socially determined and contextually embedded nature. Specifically, findings foreground the structural conditions of refugees' lives such as the physical organisation of camp spaces or refugee policies that are stigmatising through restricting the right to work or pursue education. This structural environment can lead to disruptions in soci…
How Legacies of Genocide Are Transmitted in the Family Environment
The 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda and its aftermath led to large-scale individual traumatization, disruption of family structures, shifts in gender roles, and tensions in communities, which are all ongoing. Previous research around the world has demonstrated the transgenerational effects of mass violence on individuals, families and communities. In Rwanda, in light of recurrent episodes of violence in the past, attention to the potent…
Everyday suffering outside prison walls
The validation of a social functioning questionnaire in an African postconflict context
This study evaluated the reliability and criterion validity of the Byumba Social Functioning Questionnaire (BSFQ), an instrument to measure social functioning in Rwanda. The instrument was locally composed in concordance with a well-described method for culture-specific and sex-specific function assessment. Respondents in a Northern Province of Rwanda ( N = 393) were assessed with the BSFQ and a 19-item scale (SF-19) drawn from the Medical Outcom…
Sexual transgression and social disconnection
A distinguishing feature of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and the preceding 1990-1994 war in Rwanda was the social intimacy of the crimes committed. The legacy of this kind of violence includes distrust in social relations within communities and families, an increase of violence in everyday social interaction, transgressive sexual engagements, and a range of psychological problems. Many people feel nostalgia for their past social life, but …
