Description

A sobering study of the troubled African nation, both pre- and post-genocide, and its uncertain future

The brutal civil war between Hutu and Tutsi factions in Rwanda ended in 1994 when the Rwandan Patriotic Front came to power and embarked on an ambitious social, political, and economic project to remake the devastated central-east African nation. Susan Thomson, who witnessed the hostilities firsthand, has written a provocative up to date history of the rustic, its rulers, and its people, covering the years prior to, all the way through, and following the genocidal conflict. Thomson’s hard-hitting analysis explores the important thing political events that led to the ascendance of the Rwandan Patriotic Front and its leader, President Paul Kagame. This vital and controversial study examines the rustic’s transition from war to reconciliation from the point of view of abnormal Rwandan citizens, Tutsi and Hutu alike, and raises serious questions concerning the stability of the present peace, the methods and motivations of the ruling regime and its troubling ties to the past, and the possibility of a genocide-free future.
