To solve that puzzle, he examines postcolonial Africa, analyzing countries in which genocide occurred and where it could have but did not. Why have there not been other Rwandas? Straus finds that deep-rooted ideologies-how leaders make their nations-shape strategies of violence and are central to what leads to or away from genocide. Other critical factors include the dynamics of war, the role of restraint, and the interaction between national and local actors in the staging of campaigns of large-scale violence. Grounded in Straus's extensive fieldwork in contemporary Africa, the study of major twentieth-century cases of genocide, and the literature on genocide and political violence, Making and Unmaking Nations centers on cogent analyses of three nongenocide cases (Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, and Senegal) and two in which genocide took place (Rwanda and Sudan). Straus's empirical analysis is based in part on an original database of presidential speeches from 1960 to 2005. The book also includes a broad-gauge analysis of all major cases of large-scale violence in Africa since decolonization. Straus's insights into the causes of genocide will inform the study of political violence as well as giving policymakers and nongovernmental organizations valuable tools for the future. 606 $aGenocide$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aNation-building$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aPolitical leadership$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xPolitics and government$y1960- 615 0$aGenocide 615 0$aNation-building 615 0$aPolitical leadership 676 $a364.15/10967 700 $aStraus$b Scott$f1970-$0790631 702 $aRotstein$b David Baldeosingh 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828994603321 996 $aMaking and unmaking nations$91765942 997 $aUNINA
