To Save Heaven and Earth
2023
Overview
In To Save Heaven and
Earth , Jennie E. Burnet considers people who
risked their lives in the 1994 Rwandan genocide of Tutsi to try and
save those targeted for killing. Many genocide
perpetrators were not motivated by political ideology, ethnic
hatred, or prejudice. By shifting away from these classic
typologies of genocide studies and focusing instead on hundreds of
thousands of discrete acts that unfold over time, Burnet highlights
the ways that complex decisions and behaviors emerge in the social,
political, and economic processes that constitute a genocide.
To Save Heaven and Earth explores external factors,
such as geography, local power dynamics, and genocide timelines, as
well as the internal states of mind and motivations of those who
effected rescues. Framed within the interdisciplinary scholarship
of genocide studies and rooted in cultural anthropology
methodologies, this book presents stories of heroism and of the
good done amid the evil of a genocide that nearly annihilated
Rwandan Tutsi and decimated the Hutu and Twa who were opposed to
the slaughter.
