Abstract
This article examines the fraught photographic afterlife of the Rwandan genocide as the notion of repair looms large in the imagination. The continuing work of mourning, within the boundary of the nation and beyond it, is negotiated through the terrain of the visual. Portraits do the heavy lifting of representation and narrative propulsion, but to what end? The author explores the difficult work of recovery in a photographic landscape.
