Book by Sebarenzi Joseph

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

A passionate, heartfelt perspective about the tragedy, and his personal ordeal and survival. Sebarenzi writes with a concise, authoritative voice, and with exceptional clarity of Rwanda's complicated past and present. --Herb Boyd, author of Baldwin's Harlem

Compelling and heartrending... Readers will be swept up by this powerful narrative, with the remarkable arc of Sebarenzi's life, and especially by his capacity to transform violence and embrace love... Of Sebarenzi's personal journey, one can only stand in awe, with gratitude that he has survived and that we are able to share in his journey. --Paula Green, Professor of Conflict Transformation at the School for International Training Graduate Institute, and Director of the Karuna Center for Peacebuilding

A remarkable achievement: to convey cruelty and courage, horror and survival, treachery and faith in a seamless story where the reality may appal but the attention never flags. Also a valuable afterword on the power and potential of forgiveness as a way forward anywhere. --Michael Henderson, author of No Enemy to Conquer Forgiveness in an Unforgiving World

Présentation de l'éditeur

Joseph Sebarenzi’s parents, seven siblings, and countless other family members were among 800,000 Tutsi brutally murdered over the course of ninety days in 1994 by extremist Rwandan Hutu—an efficiency that exceeded even that of the Nazi Holocaust. His father sent him away to school in Congo as a teenager, telling him, “If we are killed, you will survive.” When Sebarenzi returned to Rwanda after the genocide, he was elected speaker of parliament, only to be forced into a daring escape again when he learned he was the target of an assassination plot.

Poetic and deeply moving, God Sleeps in Rwanda shows us how the lessons of Rwanda can prevent future tragedies from happening all over the world. Readers will be inspired by the eloquence and wisdom of a man who has every right to be bitter and hateful but chooses instead to live a life of love, compassion, and forgiveness.
