In the article, I redefine the traumatic experience that has been ubiquitous on both individual and collective levels for people in Rwanda since the 1994 genocide. Using ethnographic and psychotraumatological methods, I point out the limitations of the Western-centric psychoanalytic approach and the presence of discursive elements derived directly from the public discourse on the Holocaust, which – too often understood as a model discourse – in practice makes it impossible to recognize the nature of a specific trauma or real identities of the injured subjects. In the text, I propose to adopt an emic/vernacular position on this issue, and to ponder the decolonization potential inherent in such a perspective.
