Product Information
A moving, unforgettable tribute to a Tutsi woman who did everything to protect her children from the Rwandan genocide, by the daughter who refuses to let her family's story be forgotten. The story of the author's mother, a fierce, loving woman who for years protected her family from the violence encroaching upon them in pre-genocide Rwanda. Recording her memories of their life together in spare, wrenching prose, Mukasonga preserves her mother's voice in a haunting work of art.

Reviews
"Radiant with love... The Barefoot Woman powerfully continues the tradition of women's work it so lovingly recounts. In Mukasonga's village, the women were in charge of the fire. They stoked it, kept it going all night, every night. In her work -- six searing books and counting -- she has become the keeper of the flame." -- The New York Times "A profoundly affecting memoir of a mother lost to ethnic violence. . . A loving, urgent memorial to people now "deep in the jumble of some ossuary" who might otherwise be forgotten in time." -- Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) "A loving tribute to a strong mother and a striking work of memoir. . . Extraordinarily, this story is at times horrifying in its content and at other times playful; lyric in its style and tender in its handling of the central character. While the reader's knowledge of the genocide to come hangs over the narrative, the everyday events often retain a quotidian feeling; Stefania and her neighbors worry over their children but also laugh and celebrate and arrange marriages. As a literary work, this establishes a rare balance. Jordan Stump's translation from the French beautifully conveys this sense of both tragedy and day-to-day joy. . . This is an adoring, gorgeously rendered memorial to a mother and testimony to a people." --Julia Kastner, librarian and blogger at pagesofjulia, in Shelf Awareness " The Barefoot Woman is a living-record document, the voice of culture, tradition, and hope as well as a representation of the history lived by a group of Tutsi during the Rwandan genocide. It is a great performance where language has the stage, where words are revered and carefully chosen." -- World Literature Today "Thirty-seven members of award-winning novelist Mukasonga's Tutsi family were killed by Hutus in the 1994 Rwandan genocide. She was the only survivor. Her new memoir focuses on her mother Stefania, whose primary emphasis was on saving her children from those who considered Tutsis "cockroaches", coming up with survival strategies, hiding places, paths to safety. Mukasonga describes Stefania's daily life in Rwanda, and in various lands of exile, hoe in hand, tilling the soil, sowing, weeding, harvesting in cycles of beans, corn, and sorghum. It's a way of life now gone. The Barefoot Woman is a tribute born of the horror of her mother's 'poor remains dissolved into the stench of the genocide's monstrous mass grave', crafted by a daughter who hopes that her 'sentences weave a shroud for [her] missing body.' - Jane Ciabattari, BBC Culture "Ever clear and laudable...is Mukasonga's consistent portrayal of her mother as a guardian of the family and of Rwandan lore and customs in the deadly wake of expulsion and exile." - Angela Ajayi, The (Minneapolis) Star Tribune "The fiercest of wars are fought by so many invisible heroes. The boldest of warriors will take on hell, descend into its depths, armed with a fiery love and set it differently alight. And even though this is a threnody, it is also a soaring story of grace, of faith, family, friendship, in-betweenness, and keeping just one nightmare away from the bogeyman; of Stefania who lived beyond boundaries, including those limits defined by those who would, and did, destroy a body, but never, oh no, not ever the dauntless soul of this, the most intrepid of mothers, a woman who drank fully of life, with a love that throbs through ever word in this epigrammatic book. A daughter's lyrical tribute, The Barefoot Woman is a resonant revelation." -- Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor, author of Dust, Praise for Cockroaches (2017, Archipelago): * Finalist for the 2017 Los Angeles Times Charles Isherwood Prize for Autobiographical Prose. * "Cockroaches is vital precisely because it reconfigures not only a common understanding of the genocide in Rwanda, but privileged assumptions about peace more generally ... When she left Rwanda, Mukasonga understood that her role was 'to live in the name of others.' You get the sense that every sentence in Cockroaches bears this weight and is, therefore, a remarkable achievement." - Times Literary Supplement * "Indispensable reading for anyone who cares about the endurance of the human spirit and who hopes for a better world. The conclusion is a stunning illustration of how precious little this courageous author has salvaged from tragedy.' - Los Angeles Review of Books * "At our best we bear witness to the horrors of the human condition with solemnity and respect that we might learn from our collective histories and move forward together with some hope for a shared future. That Mukasonga's lyricism allows us to endure those troubling spaces with grace and wit is not just deeply moving, it's a blessing." - Words Without Borders * "A thoughtful, sobering firsthand account of the refugee experience, a story that speaks to readers far beyond the African highlands." - Kirkus Reviews
