Negació del genocidi ruandès: diferència entre les revisions

A ''The Politics of Genocide'' (2010), l'economista Edward S. Herman i l'investigador independent David Peterson, tot i que no van negar l'escala de la massacre durant el període d'extrema violència entre l'abril i el juliol de 1994, van qüestionar la distribució de les víctimes en aquells mesos, defensant que van ser els hutus i no els tutsis la majoria de les víctimes.{{sfn|Herman|Peterson|2010|pp=51–68}} Els seus detractors els han acusat de negació de genocidi,<ref>{{Cite news|author=George Monbiot|authorlink=George Monbiot|date=13 June 2011|title=Left and libertarian right cohabit in the weird world of the genocide belittlers|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/jun/13/left-and-libertarian-right|publisher=[[The Guardian|guardian.co.uk]]|accessdate=9 August 2013|newspaper=The Guardian}}</ref><ref name=openDemocracy>{{Cite web | last = Shaw | first = Martin | date = 16 September 2010 | title = The politics of genocide: Rwanda & DR Congo | url = http://www.opendemocracy.net/martin-shaw/politics-of-genocide-rwanda-and-dr-congo | website = [[openDemocracy]] | accessdate = 19 December 2014 }}</ref> acusacions que han acabat en condemnes per Herman i Peterson.<ref>[[Edward S.

Their book argues that the accepted version of the events of 1994 implies Rwanda is "the first case in history in which a minority population, suffering destruction at the hands of its tormentors, drove its tormentors from power and assumed control of a country, all in the span of less than one hundred days", a narrative Herman and Peterson deem "incredible in the extreme."<ref name = "H&P 2010 56-57">{{Harvnb|Herman|Peterson|2010|pp=56–7}}.</ref>
