Indispensable for understanding the 1994 Rwandan genocide,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Great Lakes of Africa: Two Thousand Years of History (Paperback)
I've read a number of books on Rwanda and in particular the 1994 genocide. This book goes back in time two-thousand years describing what is known and postulated about east-central African cultures as they developed from earliest times to the present day. The author is very careful to separate evidence from conclusions and explores every facet of the region's human development from ancient mythologies, early labor practices, gradually expanding and sophisticated kingdoms,colonial contraditions and present day events. This book makes it clear that east-central Africa is culturally unique and that violence there, and all else there, can only be understood when the unique history of the region is understood.
