- Description
- The 1994 genocide in Rwanda, which followed the death of President Habyarimana, was one of the worst humanitarian disasters of the twentieth century. Beamed into the living rooms of the West, it shamed both African and global leaderships. As wars in the Congo continue to tear apart the region, this book examines how the politics that led to the 1994 genocide continue to be played out in the international media.Holmes argues that the media represents a site within which political and military actors can influence narratives about war and genocide, and breaks new ground in analyzing the role of gender in the conflict.

She explores the emergence of a public sphere in which secularists and Islamists debated Islam, art and gender in the 1990s. She analyzes the Islamist project of 'art with a mission' and the development of Islamic aesthetics, questioning whether the outcome has been to Islamize popular art or rather to popularize Islam.
