Remaking Rwanda: State Building and Human Rights after Mass

Remaking Rwanda: State Building and Human Rights after Mass Violence (Critical Human Rights)

In the mid-1990s, civil war and genocide ravaged Rwanda. Since then, the countryâ€™s new leadership has undertaken a highly ambitious effort to refashion Rwandaâ€™s politics, economy, and society, and the countryâ€™s accomplishments have garnered widespread praise. Remaking Rwanda is the first book to examine Rwandaâ€™s remarkable post-genocide recovery in a comprehensive and critical fashion. By paying close attention to memory politics, human rights, justice, foreign relations, land use, education, and other key social institutions and practices, this volume raises serious concerns about the depth and durability of the countryâ€™s reconstruction.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Edited by Scott Straus and Lars Waldorf, Remaking Rwanda brings together experienced scholars and human rights professionals to offer a nuanced, historically informed picture of post-genocide Rwandaâ€”one that reveals powerful continuities with the nationâ€™s past and raises profound questions about its future.
