For background on the dynamics of ethnicity in prerevolutionary Rwanda, Catharine Newbury, The Cohesion of Oppression: Clientship and Ethnicity in Rwanda, 1860–1960 (1988), provides a detailed analysis that remains unsurpassed. The genocide itself and relevant events leading to and following it are analyzed in Gerard Prunier, The Rwanda Crisis: History of a Genocide (1995, reprinted 1998); Mahmood Mamdani, When Victims Become Killers: Colonialism, Nativism and the Genocide in Rwanda (2001); and Alison Des Forges, Leave None to Tell the Story: Genocide in Rwanda (1999).
Firsthand accounts of the genocide are included in Philip Gourevitch, We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families: Stories from Rwanda (1998, reprinted 2004); and Roméo Dallaire and Brent Beardsley, Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda (2003), the memoir of Dallaire, head of the UN peacekeeping mission in Rwanda when the genocide occurred.
Discussion of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda can be found in Thierry Cruvellier, Court of Remorse: Inside the International Tribunal for Rwanda (2010). The concept of gacaca courts and how they were employed after the genocide are explored in Philip Clark, The Gacaca Courts, Post-Genocide Justice and Reconciliation in Rwanda: Justice Without Lawyers (2010).
