Publisher's Synopsis
Embrace Life
On the evening of April 6, 1994, the plane carrying the president of Rwanda
was shot down; from that moment on, 100 days of massacre began, leaving
more than 1.000.000 Tutsi people dead. Dydine Umunyana Anderson was
only four years old when the genocide against Tutsis that ravaged the fertile
"land of milk and honey" Rwanda broke out. Thirty years after the violent
onslaught of the Hutus, this testimony confronts us with the wounds of post-
colonial Africa and reveals the long process of reconciliation that Rwanda and
Dydine have gone through to heal and embrace life.
