Yugoslavia was the point of departure in the sense that the testimonies and reports of atrocities, in particular in cases of women being raped and having acid poured into their vaginae, women being made to watch the murder of their families and husbands, that provoked my thinking about atrocities in more general terms. After the war in Yugoslavia, I hoped that the whole world would realize this kind of violence is not restricted to the black peoples of Africa.
