The brick and tile industries of Rwanda provide a microcosm to examine the transformation of gender, class, and power relations through the precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial periods, and provide insights into the explosive impact of these changes on Rwandan culture and society. The book illustrates how these gender, class, and power relations played out in times of economic, political, and demographic crisis, and argues that these factors have not changed significantly since the Rwandan Patriotic Front took power in 1994.LaborRwandaWorking classRwandaGenocideRwandaRwandaEconomic conditionsRwandaSocial conditionsLaborWorking classGenocide338.4/766673/0967571Jefremovas Villia688444MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808323703321Brickyards to graveyards1236013UNINA
