The Celebrity Humanitarian Ally Conclusion: Mediating Violence from Africa in the Post–Post–Cold War Period Appendix: Data Visualization of Vénuste Kayimahe’s Marginalizations in Discussions of “Rwanda: Writing as a Duty to Remember” Notes Bibliography Filmography IndexReviewsGeorge MacLeod convincingly shows how iconic African figures of the post-Cold War-the child soldier, the survivor of the Tutsis genocide in Rwanda, the Islamist terrorist, and the celebrity humanitarian-were first mediated in dominant Western political discourses before finding their way into Francophone cultural productions. Mediating Violence from Africa charts new ways for reading violence in Francophone African cultural productions of the past thirty years. -Koffi Anyinefa, professor and chair of French and Francophone Studies at Haverford College The pertinence of the iconic figures chosen to analyze how political violence in Africa is mediated combined with George MacLeod's innovative transnational and post-Cold War timeframe make this book an important and timely contribution to the field of Francophone studies. -Alexandre Dauge-Roth, author of Writing and Filming the Genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda: Dismembering and Remembering Traumatic History Mediating Violence from Africa grants new insights for students and scholars of Africa today. It is a well-crafted critical study that is fascinating to read.
