Imagine being thousands of miles away while your family and friends are brutally and methodically slaughtered. Imagine being entrusted by your parents with the mission of leaving everything you know and finding some way to survive, in the name of your family and your people. Scholastique Mukasonga's Cockroaches is the story of growing up a Tutsi in Hutu-dominated Rwanda--the story of a happy child, a loving family, all wiped out in the genocide of 1994. A vivid, bitterwsweet depiction of family life and bond in a time of immense hardship, it is also a story of incredible endurance, and the duty to remember that loss and those lost while somehow carrying on. Sweet, funny, wrenching, and deeply moving, Cockroaches is a window onto an unforgettable world of love, grief, and horror"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Mukasonga, Scholastique. 650 0 $a Genocide $z Rwanda $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Rwanda $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Tutsi (African people) $x History $z Rwanda $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Hutu (African people) $z Rwanda $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Rwanda $x Atrocities. $y Civil War, 1994 $x Atrocities. 651 0 $a Rwanda $v Biography. 700 1 $a Stump, Jordan, $d 1959- $e translator. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019014653.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103014553.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20180512010022.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=990A138AE9E711E69A6025A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
