Abstract

The present article will attempt to demonstrate the ability of Beata Umubyeyi Mairesse, a Rwandan author, to convey the Rwandan imaginary and its history to a Western audience through everyday life. Umubyeyi addresses, of course, the trauma of the 1994 genocide, but she does not believe that the focus of her attention should be directed solely at this conflict. Instead, her goal is to convey a more complex and diverse society through her novels. Fiction allows her to explore the lives of the forgotten survivors, to revive, reconstruct, and share their own experiences. The author’s literary work is based on rewriting the Western media discourses that stereotyped and presented a partial view of her country and its citizenship.
