Gostaríamos de informá-lo de que amanhã seremos mortos com nossas famílias, by Philip Gourevitch
reasie's review against another edition

I was shocked how much this ground-view of the genocide in Rwanda differed from the version I recalled from the Western press of the 90s. Like... way different.
This book is not just a journalistic work, comprised of interviews with survivors and politicians and, it seems, anyone Mr. Gourevitch could get to sit down and talk... it's also a painful lesson in what constitutes a disaster to the international community... what we will turn our heads from, what we will tolerate if it doesn't 'affect' us.
I like that it ends on a bitter hopeful note. I'll be looking for anything I can read from Rwanda today, it's a fascinating country.

Completely invested in this novel. How was I sooo oblivious to this while in college? Awareness and advocacy are top priorities now and I hope we never have to relive this again.
