Remaking Rwanda

In the mid-1990s, civil war and genocide ravaged Rwanda. Since then, the countrys new leadership has undertaken a highly ambitious effort to refashion Rwandas politics, economy, and society, and the countrys accomplishments have garnered widespread praise. Remaking Rwanda is the first book to examine Rwandas 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 countrys reconstruction. 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 Rwandaone that reveals powerful continuities with the nations past and raises profound questions about its future. Remaking Rwanda is an ambitious book, a rich and varied compilation that demonstrates the full complement of approaches, methods, and concerns informing the study of post-genocide Rwanda.
