Patricia Bamurangirwa was born in Rwanda in 1949. The outbreak of the civil war in the 1960s ended her education, and her family fled from Rwanda, first as refugees to the Congo and Uganda and later to Tanzania and Kenya. Deprived of an education and stable upbringing, Patricia has become interested in the reason behind the wars and violence Rwanda and its people suffered. She decided to write this book to set the record straight regarding the common myths about the history of Rwanda and its people. This book is divided into three parts. Starting with the formation of Rwanda, it shows how the tribes, Banyarwanda Tutsi, Twa and Hutu lived in harmony under the rule of a king. It then examine Rwanda under colonialism, when the Belgiums devised an ethnic system that raised the Hutus above the Tutsis and laid the groundwork of the future tensions in the country. Finally, the last part examines Rwanda as it entered the period of the 1994 genocide when over 20% of the population was killed and the world stood by. The book does not simply narrate events in Rwanda’s history, but seeks to provide some clarity on the cause rather than the effects of the current state of affairs. It is not a book simply about the genocide, but a look at how the country’s history has shaped the events of modern times. It is important to understand Rwanda’s successive periods of history, in order to understand today’s Rwanda, and this book presents a fresh perspective on the country and its people.

NEW RWANDA From Hell to Heaven

By: Patricia Bamurangirwa

A small country in the heart of Africa, Rwanda is a country of unity and patriotism. But less than 30 years ago, Rwanda was rocked by terrible genocide. Over a million people perished in cruel and horrible situations. Faced with suggestions that the whole country should be wiped out and divided up amongst neighbouring nations, the Rwanda Patriotic Front began a journey to stop the genocide, reunite the nation and fight for their future. In New Rwanda From Hell to Heaven, Patricia Bamurangirwa recounts this history, examining how Rwanda chose hope over hate and grew from the ashes of genocide to become a global role model. She explores how Rwandans embarked on a journey full of sacrifices and patriotism to build their present and their future.

Africanism

By: Patricia Bamurangirwa

The true story of understanding of some young people in Africa. In her book, Patricia Bamurangirwa delves into the more serious aspects of emigrating from Africa to Britain and other Western countries alike and challenges some of them face. This is a heartfelt book that aims to bring hope and confidence to those from minority backgrounds, but also to those who have not personally experienced the trials and tribulations of being from an minority ethnic group within the UK. It also serves to educate readers about the cultural and societal issues currently facing Africa – from the responsibilities that have been facing Africa for years, to the corruption and violence, to the leaders of the Western world who need to learn to be happy being rich alongside the African continent. “While the book is a true story,” explains Patricia, “all the names have been changed.” Africanism encourages every young person to be proud of their heritage, background and ethnicity, as well as the country within which they currently live. This is a book about patriotism, passion and pride. Patricia Bamurangirwa will bring readers to tears with her story, but also hopefully bring laughter too. This is ultimately a story of self-confidence and belief, which will appeal to anyone looking for a motivational and inspirational story.

My Mother's Dreams

By: Patricia Bamurangirwa

This is the story of how Patricia Bamurangirwa managed life on her own after losing her mother, at a young age and in a foreign country when she was no longer able to stay in Rwanda. My Mother’s Dreams is the candid autobiography of Patricia Bamurangirwa, who found herself torn between her culture, her family, her pride and her rights at a very young age. Like many African girls in the 1950s, readers will discover why she missed out on higher education among other opportunities. But that never stopped her fighting for what she believed in. Find out how Patricia escaped becoming a prostitute, even though she was in their hands for four years. Discover how she managed to take care of seven children as a single mother. Later in life find out what Europe, the continent some think to be ‘heaven on Earth’, was like when she travelled there. And finally, read the statement of a survivor of the 1994 genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda; the sad story of a mother who saw her children tortured to death. Some parts of this book will make you laugh, while others will make you cry; but it is important that you will learn a lot from this book. My Mother’s Dream was written to show that women can overcome anything, and will appeal to fans of women’s writing and moving autobiographies.
