Abstrakt
In this chapter, "What You See Depends Where You Stand: Critical Anticolonial Perspectives on Genocide Education Addressing the 1994 Rwandan Genocide," traces some of the key tensions and questions at stake in critical, anticolonial research into contemporary practices of genocide education regarding the 1994 Rwandan genocide against the Tutsis (shortened here to Rwandan genocide education or RGE) in Canadian schools. The discussion emerges from a long series of conversations among and between Rwandese-Canadian community activists/educators, NGO- and local school-based educators, and university-based researchers concerning the politics of knowledge production and representation within institutional initiatives to commemorate and learn from the 1994 Rwandan genocide. In sketching out the central concerns of our collaborative inquiry, this chapter traces a conversation in three voices among Marie-Jolie Rwigema and Sollange Sauter Umwali—two community-based researchers and educators—and Lisa Taylor—a university-based researcher and teacher educator.
