How does gender shape responses to both literal and structural violence, including implicit linguistic, familial, and cultural violence? How might writing or other works of art contribute to healing? \u003ci\u003eArt from Trauma: Genocide and Healing beyond Rwanda\u003c\/i\u003e explores the possibility of art as therapeutic, capable of implementation by mental health practitioners crafting mental health policy in Rwanda. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This anthology of scholarly, personal, and hybrid essays was inspired by scholar and activist Chantal Kalisa (1965-2015). At the commemoration of the nineteenth anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda, organized by the Rwandan Embassy in Washington DC, Kalisa gave a presentation, \"Who Speaks for the Survivors of the Genocide against Tutsi?\" Kalisa devoted her energy to giving expression to those whose voices had been distorted or silenced. The essays in this anthology address how the production and experience of visual, dramatic, cinematic, and musical arts, in addition to literary arts, contribute to healing from the trauma of mass violence, offering preliminary responses to questions like Kalisa's and honoring her by continuing the dialogue in which she participated with such passion, sharing the work of scholars and colleagues in genocide studies, gender studies, and francophone literatures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rangira Béa Gallimore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496206649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496206640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Rangira Béa Gallimore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052856733951,"sku":"9781496206640","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e03e3f5-1c60-4159-ab60-9e4873aca42b.jpg?v=1685021103","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-from-trauma-rangira-b-gallimore-9781496206640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
