Jan Vansina provides a critique of the history recorded by early missionaries and court historians and provides a bottom-up view, drawing on hundreds of grassroots narratives. He describes the genesis of the Hutu and Tutsi identities, their growing social and political differences, their bitter feuds, revolts, and massacres, and the relevance of this dramatic history to the post-genocide Rwanda of today.2001 French edition, Katharla Publishers 410 0$aAfrica and the diaspora. 607 $aRwanda$xKings and rulers 607 $aRwanda$xHistory 676 $a967.571/01 700 $aVansina$b Jan$0143274 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966225303321 996 $aAntecedents to modern Rwanda$91767355 997 $aUNINA
