God Sleeps in Rwanda: a journey of transformation by Joseph Sebarenzi with Laura Ann Mullane. Atria Books. ISBN: 978 141657 573 3. £18.99.  The European subjection and colonisation of Africa has left a brutal legacy. From the indefensible abuses of enslavement and apartheid to the wanton plundering of Africa’s rich resources, it is no wonder that this is a continent still in recovery. Another terrible legacy is evidenced from the colonisers’ policy of ‘divide and rule’, not least – as Joseph Sebarenzi shows in this book – in Rwanda.
