In remembering professor Chantal Kalisa, the contributors of Art from Trauma bring hope for the future to victims coping with traumatic experiences of extreme violence or genocide. Providing victims a platform for sharing memories and experiences is one way of mourning and may lead to healing. -Edouard Kayihura, author of Inside the Hotel Rwanda: The Surprising True Story and Why It Matters Today This astute biographical, methodological, and theoretical book presents Chantal Kalisa as a figure both of history and of memory-of history in relating her life to her career in order to highlight compelling narratives on scholarship, activism, and responsibility; and of memory in extending her powerful interpretive works into other forays. . . . The hatred and violence that Kalisa observed in francophone Africa is replaced in this significant book with hope, along with the enduring capacity to reimagine a better future. -Toyin Falola, Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities at the University of Texas at Austin Art from Trauma is an expansive narrative about violence and trauma as well as a courageous and insightful inquiry into various forms of traumatic events and the healing power of different forms of art. Featuring scholars from various and multidisciplinary perspectives, it is also a work of memory and mourning that challenges the unspeakable through the power of language and art in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. -Aimable Twagilimana, professor of English and Fulbright Scholar, SUNY Buffalo State A deeply rich and inspiring volume, this book offers a worthy tribute to Chantal Kalisa's important work and responds to the pressing need for creativity in the processes of remembrance, justice, and reconciliation in Rwanda and beyond. -Catherine Gilbert, author of From Surviving to Living: Voice, Trauma, and Witness in Rwandan Women's Writing A deeply rich and inspiring volume, this book offers a worthy tribute to Chantal Kalisa's important work and responds to the pressing need for creativity in the processes of remembrance, justice, and reconciliation in Rwanda and beyond. -Catherine Gilbert, author of From Surviving to Living: Voice, Trauma, and Witness in Rwandan Women's Writing -- Catherine Gilbert Art from Trauma is an expansive narrative about violence and trauma as well as a courageous and insightful inquiry into various forms of traumatic events and the healing power of different forms of art.
