Las personas solas que encabezaban sus propios hogares suponían una realidad que, con harta frecuencia, ha pasado desapercibida y oculta detrás de una determinada representación de la familia en el pasado. Constituían el contrapunto de una sociedad donde la condición ideal venía definida directamente por su estado matrimonial. Sobre todo, para las mujeres. Sin embargo, vivir en soledad era una situación más habitual de lo que se suele pensar. Y no solo en las ciudades, a las que tradicionalmente se ha vinculado este hecho. También en el mundo rural, considerado el paradigma de la anti-soledad. Con este libro se reivindica su estudio en estas zonas para profundizar en las dimensiones, peculiaridades y complejidad del fenómeno a un lado y otro del Atlántico desde el siglo XVI hasta la actualidad.

Genocide involves significant death and trauma. Yet the enormous scope of genocide comes into view when one looks at the factors that lead to mass killing, the struggle for survival during genocide, and the ways survivors reconstruct their lives after the violence ends. Over a one hundred day period in 1994, the country of Rwanda saw the genocidal slaughter of at least 800,000 Tutsi at the hands of members of the Hutu majority government. This book is a powerful oral history of the tragedy and its aftermath from the perspective of its survivors. Based on in-depth interviews conducted over the course of fifteen years, the authors take a holistic approach by tracing how victims experienced the horrific events, as well as how they have coped with the aftermath as they struggled to resume their lives. The Rwanda genocide deserves study and documentation not only because of the failure of the Western world to intervene, but also because it raises profound questions about the ways survivors create a new life out of the ashes of all that was destroyed. How do they deal with the all-encompassing traumas of genocide? Is forgiveness possible? And what does the process of rebuilding teach us about genocide, trauma, and human life?
