Description: Rwanda Before the Genocide by J.J. Carney Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Rwanda Before the Genocide analyzes the intersection of ethnic discourse, Rwandan politics, and Catholic social teaching during the critical final decade of Belgian colonial rule, exploring the many-threaded roots of the ethnic and political mythos that culminated with the 1994 genocide. Publisher Description Winner of the Bethwell A. Ogot Book Prize of the African Studies AssociationBetween 1920 and 1994, the Catholic Church was Rwandas most dominant social and religious institution. In recent years, the church has been critiqued for its perceived complicity in the ethnic discourse and political corruption that culminated with the 1994 genocide. In analyzing the contested legacy of Catholicism in Rwanda, Rwanda Before theGenocide focuses on a critical decade, from 1952 to 1962, when Hutu and Tutsi identities became politicized, essentialized, and associated with political violence. This study--the first English-languagechurch history on Rwanda in over 30 years--examines the reactions of Catholic leaders such as the Swiss White Father André Perraudin and Aloys Bigirumwami, Rwandas first indigenous bishop. It evaluates Catholic leaders controversial responses to ethnic violence during the revolutionary changes of 1959-62 and after Rwandas ethnic massacres in 1963-64, 1973, and the early 1990s. In seeking to provide deeper insight into the many-threaded roots of the Rwandan genocide, Rwanda Beforethe Genocide offers constructive lessons for Christian ecclesiology and social ethics in Africa and beyond.
