Journalists, diplomats and aid workers struggled to find a way to make sense of the bloodshed. Johan Pottier's troubling study shows that the post-genocide regime in Rwanda was able to impose a simple yet persuasive account of Central Africa's crises upon international commentators new to the region, and he explains the ideological underpinnings of this official narrative. He also provides a sobering analysis of the way in which this simple, persuasive, but fatally misleading analysis of the situation on the ground led to policy errors that exacerbated the original crisis. Professor Pottier has extensive field experience in the region, from before and after the genocide, and he has also worked among refugees in eastern Zaire. 410 0$aAfrican studies series ;$v102. 517 3 $aReimagining Rwanda 607 $aRwanda$xHistory$yCivil War, 1994 607 $aRwanda$xEthnic relations$xHistory$y20th century 676 $a967.571 700 $aPottier$b Johan$0688446 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811745903321 996 $aRe-imagining Rwanda$91236015 997 $aUNINA
