The field of study is Genocide Studies.
Nation at War – A Memoir. United States: Harper Collins Publishers, 2011.
The prompt is as follows:
Cite a substantial amount of writings from our syllabus, including at least 2 of the

outside the syllabus. (Note from client: I will provide this list of sources.)

and experiences from the entire semester, and then uses that synthesis as a basis for
analyzing Leymah Gbowee’s memoir!
• You are not allowed to cite anything from outside our syllabus. The point of this
exercise is to draw connections, for yourself, about the journey we’ve been on
together this semester — and to do so by analyzing a conflict.
