Totten to Talk About Interviews With Rwandan Genocide Survivors
Genocide scholar Samuel Totten, University of Arkansas professor of curriculum and instruction, will speak about his book We Cannot Forget: Interviews with Survivors of the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25, at Nightbird Books in Fayetteville.
Totten is the author of numerous books and articles about genocide and the Holocaust, and he has lectured around the world about his work, which includes interviewing victims of the genocides in Sudan and Rwanda.
His book of interviews with Rwandans was co-written with Rafiki Ubaldo, a freelance journalist and researcher who is himself a survivor of the 1994 genocide, and published last year by Rutgers University Press.
During a period of 100 days in 1994, Hutus murdered between half a million and a million Tutsi in Rwanda. Utilizing personal interviews with trauma survivors living in Rwandan cities, towns, and dusty villages, We Cannot Forget relates what happened during this period and what their lives were like both prior to and following the genocide.
Totten will sign copies of the book at Nightbird Books, 205 W. Dickson St., and the bookstore's café will be open.
