This book discusses the radical transformation of Rwanda, focusing on the dynamics of its society before and after the genocide against the Tutsis in 1994. Through contextualizing the significant changes experienced by the country, it throws searchlights on a number of other African states facing similar challenges. The author analyses Rwanda's challenges of nationhood after the genocide; the vision and will of the country's leadership; its social programs and strategies for cohesion and national development; the population's resilience; and its growing regional influence in the twenty-first century. Rwandan society is here considered not only through the lens of existing literature on African politics, but also through direct engagement and fieldwork with local populations, scholars and policymakers. In addition, the book weighs in on narratives of survivors and victims of the genocide to understand and present local dispositions to current realities such as reforms, development plans, inclusive policies and programs, and determine how Rwandans deal with historical identity issues and conflicts. This book will be of interest to students, scholars and researchers interested in Rwandan and African politics, peace and conflict studies, security (strategic) studies, and genocide studies.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書探討了盧旺達的根本轉變,重點關注1994年對圖西族的種族滅絕前後社會的動態。通過對該國所經歷的重大變化進行背景分析,本書照亮了其他面臨類似挑戰的非洲國家的情況。作者分析了種族滅絕後盧旺達在國家認同方面所面臨的挑戰;國家領導層的願景和意志;其社會計畫及促進凝聚力和國家發展的策略;人民的韌性;以及在21世紀日益增長的區域影響力。盧旺達社會不僅通過現有的非洲政治文獻來考量,還通過與當地居民、學者和政策制定者的直接接觸和實地研究進行探討。此外,本書還考量了種族滅絕倖存者和受害者的敘述,以理解和呈現當地對當前現實的看法,如改革、發展計畫、包容性政策和計畫,並確定盧旺達人民如何處理歷史身份問題和衝突。本書將吸引對盧旺達及非洲政治、和平與衝突研究、安全(戰略)研究以及種族滅絕研究感興趣的學生、學者和研究人員。
