Publication Type: Proceeding Abstract: In the aftermath of the 1994 war and genocide, the government of Rwanda has undertaken a massive effort to shape public memory. Driven by the dual goals of creating national unity and securing their own power, government leaders have used memorials, commemorations, curriculum reform, re-education camps, and other policies to shape how the public understands the causes and nature of the cataclysm that shook the country and led to over half a million deaths. This paper will look at the ways in which judicial initiatives, including the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, national trials and the grassroots, community gacaca courts, are being used to shape collective memory in post-genocide Rwanda. Based on five years of research in Rwanda, including results from two surveys, numerous focus groups, several hundred individual interviews, and ethnographic observation, this paper will focus in particular on the public reaction to these government efforts and the ways in which the public is developing counter-narratives and their own judicial understandings in an effort to empower themselves.
