In his previous books, Jean Hatzfeld has documented the lives of the killers and victims, but after twenty years he has found that the enormity of understanding doesn't stop with one generation. In \u003ci\u003eBlood Papa\u003c\/i\u003e, Hatzfeld returns to the hills and marshes of Nyamata to ask what has become of the children--those who never saw the machetes yet have grown up in the shadow of tragedy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFabrice, Sandra, Jean-Pierre, and others share the genocide as a common inheritance. Some have known only their parents' silence and lies, enduring the harassment of classmates or the stigma of a father jailed for unspeakable crimes. Others have enjoyed a loving home and the sympathies offered to survivor children, but do so without parents or an extended family. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe young Rwandans in \u003ci\u003eBlood Papa \u003c\/i\u003esee each other in the neighborhood--they dance and gossip, frequent the same caf s, and, like teenagers everywhere, love sports, music, and fashion; they surf the Web and dream of marriage. Yet Hutu and Tutsi children rarely speak of the ghosts that haunt their lives. Here their moving first-person accounts combined with Hatzfeld's arresting chronicles of everyday life form a testament to survival in a country devastated by the terrible crimes and trauma of the past.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean Hatzfeld\u003c\/b\u003e, an international reporter for \u003ci\u003eLibération\u003c\/i\u003e since 1973, is the author of many books, including \u003ci\u003eMachete Season: The Killers in Rwanda Speak \u003c\/i\u003e(FSG, 2005) and \u003ci\u003eThe Antelope\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003es Strategy\u003c\/i\u003e (FSG, 2010).
