"Burundi, like Rwanda, Congo, and Uganda, is linked to patterns of recurrent genocidal violence that have shaped events in the African Great Lakes region. In Gender and Genocide in Burundi, Patricia O. Daley argues that sexual patterns of violence have become more pervasive as male and Western-dominated cultures of impunity devalue lives across the region. In her view, only a revised feminist-historical approach to understanding violence and a reformed peace process, on local as well as international levels, will bring genocide to an end. By bringing gender to bear, Daley breaks down divisions at places where violence or social injustice has been reproduced in the past and illustrates how the protracted nature of oppression, warfare, and endemic violence can come to an end. Daley's unique insight into the politics of genocide shows how a new gender-oriented paradigm that emphasizes rights and humanity can make ""never again"" a reality."

Reviews for Gender and Genocide in Burundi: The Search for Spaces of Peace in the Great Lakes Region

An invaluable gift for students of African politics, this book provides an excellent overview of Africa's place in the world.Vol. 42.2 2009 -- Noel Twagiramungu * The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University * This is a book that covers a lot of ground-historically, theoretically, and geographically; in doing so it reflects the author's many years' commitment to the country and the region. ...This is the first book since the mid 1990s to thoroughly analyze Burundian politics-and much has changed in Burundi since then. -Simon Turner, Danish Institute for International Studies * AFRICAN STUDIES REVIEW *
