“There can be no reconciliation without a reorganization of power.”
― When Victims Become Killers: Colonialism, Nativism, and the Genocide in Rwanda
― When Victims Become Killers: Colonialism, Nativism, and the Genocide in Rwanda
“Atrocity cannot be its own explanation. Violence cannot be allowed to speak for itself, for violence is not its own meaning. To be made thinkable it needs to be historicized.”

“If it is the struggle for power that explains the motivation of those who crafted the genocide, then it is the combined fear of a return to servitude and of reprisals thereafter that energized the foot soldiers of the genocide. The irony is that--whether in the Church, in hospitals, or in human rights groups, as in fields and homes--the perpetrators of the genocide saw themselves as the true victims of an ongoing political drama, victims of yesterday who may yet be victims again. That moral certainly explains the easy transition from yesterday's victims to killers the morning after.”

“So long as the customary sphere is not deethnicized as part of a broader reform, deracialization of the civic sphere will only lead to a spillover--even to an explosion--of ethnic conflict in the civic realm.”

“I understand flat affect as a way of making some space when we're not sure how to feel within a moment of misrecognition. I read recession and withdrawal as a means through which we minimize the impact of difficult memories called up by and through inter corporeal moments of misrecognition, and numbness as a means through which we survive such moments by turning down the volume on our sensorium.”
