The concept of posttraumatic growth is understood to be universal, however, the ways in which growth is manifested may be culture-specific. In Chapter 2, I present a reading of Rwandan men’s testimonies using posttraumatic growth theory, taking cultural and historical factors into consideration. Analyzing the testimonies in this way, I argue, can enable trauma scholars to move beyond the eurocentrism of traditional trauma theory and its focus on events, belatedness and unrepresentability. The chapter shows that pre-colonial notions of male strength and invulnerability were eroded by colonialism and ultimately decimated during the three months of violence in 1994. Since the genocide, however, Tutsi masculine identity has been reconstructed through the ideology of ndi umuyarwanda, the notion of Rwandanness or Rwandicity. While this ideology has received much criticism among Western scholars because of its association with the Rwandan government, I argue that its adoption (and adaption) among Rwandan men is a form of postcolonial posttraumatic growth. Post-genocide masculinity emphasises its rejection of colonial and neo-colonial ideas about Rwanda, turning instead to indigenous culture and beliefs; a phenomenon that post-colonial theorists might label ‘interior vision’ (Bernabé, Chamoiseau & Confiant, 1986).
