The Philip Gourevitch article I mentioned will be in the May 4 issue of The New Yorker. You can read it online (for free, if you're a subscriber, otherwise for a fee) on the New Yorker.com website. If you wait a few days, however, you can read it online through the MU libraries. It's not posted quite yet.
In the meantime, here's audio of Gourevitch discussing the article and Rwanda today. He talks about the Gacaca courts--something I didn't get to mention in class today--but which are keys to the recovery there. These neighborhood courts bring perpetrators and victims face to face--and they're working. The healing seems almost as beyond comprehension as the genocide itself.
