An unforgettable firsthand account of a people's response to genocide and what it tells us about humanity.

This remarkable debut book chronicles what has happened in Rwanda and neighboring states since 1994, when the Rwandan government called on everyone in the Hutu majority to murder everyone in the Tutsi minority. Though the killing was low-tech--largely by machete--it was carried out at shocking speed: some 800,000 people were exterminated in a hundred days. A Tutsi pastor, in a letter to his church president, a Hutu, used the chilling phrase that gives Philip Gourevitch his title.

With keen dramatic intensity, Gourevitch frames the genesis and horror of Rwanda's genocidal logic in the anguish of its aftermath: the mass displacements, the temptations of revenge and the quest for justice, the impossibly crowded prisons and refugee camps. Through intimate portraits of Rwandans in all walks of life, he focuses on the psychological and political challenges of survival and on how the new leaders of postcolonial Africa went to war in the Congo when resurgent genocidal forces threatened to overrun central Africa.

Can a country composed largely of perpetrators and victims create a cohesive national society? This moving contribution to the literature of witness tells us much about the struggle everywhere to forge sane, habitable political orders, and about the stubbornness of the human spirit in a world of extremity.

We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families is the winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction.

Great product
Size: 4 Panels, Color: Beige
We needed something too block off a corner of a room. I looked through a ton of different room divider options on Amazon. I’m glad I did. I’ve had it up for about up about 4 months now, and it’s holding up well. Not too difficult to put together you just got to pay attention and make sure you’re putting it together the right way. The fabric is of good quality. It doesn’t feel flimsy.

Decent room divider for a good price.
Size: 4 Panels, Color: Grey
Honestly I'm pretty happy with the product for the price paid. The instructions were relatively easy to figure out and I put it together myself in an afternoon. Looks good for how cheap it was, and does exactly what I wanted. Double check your measurements before buying, but this worked out great for me.

Great solution if you need some privacy!
Size: 6 Panels, Color: Beige
I had my family and relatives came over last holiday and I needed to provide a make shift rooms for them. I have a finished basement. I purchased 2 sets of VEVOR 6 Panel Room Divider and solved my problem. The VEVOR 6 Panel Room Divider is a practical and affordable way to create privacy in any space. It’s easy to set up and the folding design makes it simple to adjust or store when not in use. The panels are lightweight but still feel sturdy enough. Assembly needs some extra patience    Overall, a great value option for flexible and convenient room separation. Highly recommended.

Super Value
Size: 4 Panels, Color: Grey, Size: 4 Panels, Color: Grey
While not elegant, these dividers are study, stable, and made of surprisingly high-quality materials for the price. The fabric has a heavy-duty feel and stretches nice and tight with no need to individually Velcro the top and bottom in place as compared to other options. That makes screwing-in one bolt per panel section a bit of a challenge that is best done with two people. However, the results are worth the effort. Otherwise, super quick and simple assembly. The included hex wrench works OK. However, using a 5/32nd inch (4 mm) hex bit in a manual or electric screwdriver dramatically speeds assembly and disassembly. Everything fits nice and neatly back into the divider's shipping box provided one carefully preserves its packing materials and notes how the box was originally packed. Our organization ordered 8 additional 4 panel sets after initial testing of one set of panels indicated that they were an extremely cost-effective alternative to renting "pipe and drape" to support displaying and dividing artwork. We plan to use rubber backed pushpins (also available via Amazon) to affix items to the dividers as needed.
