This collection offers a fascinating exploration of Rwandan cultural erasure amidst long-running natural disasters. While the concept of post-coloniality presented here primarily focuses on cultural homogeneity, rather than offering the best insight, the book itself serves as a poignant reflection on the tragedy of lost myths within Rwandan culture
3.5/5

This was one of those books where I knew it was GOOD and I did enjoy it, but sometimes I had to convince myself to pick it up and keep reading.

I feel like I need to re-read it to really appreciate the story.
