نبذة مختصرة : Only second to the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide is the most audio-visually recreated genocide with approximately 200 films and documentaries produced in 39 countries between 1994 and 2021. Historical Media Memories of the Rwandan Genocide studies the construction, development and recreation of the transnational historical media memory of the genocde against the Tutsi i Rwanda. This comprehensive work traces the international media image and the creation of historical media memories of the Rwandan genocide, starting with the day-to-day television news reporting in 1994, and continues with analysing how the genocide has been used and reproduced in films and documentaries in a global scale as well in Rwanda, which has created its own images of the genocide in film and television production to support a new national identity.
