This chapter examines the immediate aftermath of the violent displays from Chapter 5. It finds that violence did not simply end with the killing of the victims, but continued through the dumping of bodies, the taking of souvenirs, and continued narrativizing of the event. In Rwanda, the displays continued through official commemorations of the dead, which involved exhumations and reburials of alleged victims of the genocide. In reality, these reburials were a hoax. Through official genocide reburials, the government was able to recategorize many dead bodies, transforming victims of Rwandan Patriotic Front killings and even génocidaires into victims of the genocide. The chapter then moves back to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where the violence continued through the days and weeks that followed, with tourists descending on Princess Anne to find out what they missed and others bragging about what they saw and did during the lynching.
