Review of 'The best American magazine writing, 2002' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
One of the most important articles I've ever read is in this book. Samantha Power's "Bystanders to Genocide" discusses the American complicity in the Rwandan genocide of 1994. This is an important document that is already having some effect in our government's reaction to the similar dreadful events happening in the Congo this year. There are other fantastic articles in here as well, but Powers' article is the standout.
