ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book shows that any history writing that excludes the stories of less visible social actors who inhabit the landscape of violence is incomplete, as these stories interweave together to narrate the social history of genocide. It focuses on the constellation of genocide narratives, and traces dialogical connections with the constellation of war narratives. The book aims to conflict and genocide studies, social history and narrative research rests in its deployment of the constellation framework in centring and integrating the stories of previously marginalised social actors. It shows that personal stories of victimhood and victimisation are not confined to one ethnic group. The book presents the interconnected stories of the other kinds of intersections of ethnic and social identities that remain unofficial in national narratives of the genocide as well as those of unity and reconciliation.
