Abstract

When Victims Become Killers:
Colonialism, Nativism, and the
Genocide in Rwanda
by Mahmood Mamdani
Princeton University Press, 2001,
364 pp., $16.95,
ISBN 0-691-05821-0


Any student of Rwanda could observe that the 1994 genocide has induced a number of persons and organizations to devote their research capacities to document and explain it. There is no doubt that these analyses have contributed greatly to a better understanding of the Rwanda crisis, especially to the questions of how and why it happened. It is also evident that these analyses have been concerned with a certain mode of knowledge and have privileged certain research questions at the expense of others. Scholarship on the genocide has been divided between a dominant position that sees the violence as the instrument of choice of a select Rwandan political elite and a second position that views the violence as yet another example, though a particularly brutal one, of primordial passions frequently occurring in terra incognita, or as an outcome of “state failure”.

Author Biography

Alice Urusaro Uwagaga Karekezi

praticienne érudite, est titulaire d’un doctorat de la School of Global Studies de l’Université de Göteborg, axé sur la décolonisation de la construction des normes internationales, et d’un master de l’Université Aix-Marseille III. Elle a près de 30 ans d’expérience dans le domaine des situations post-conflit et de la reconstruction. Karekezi a cofondé le Centre pour la gestion des conflits (CCM) de l’Université du Rwanda, où elle est basée. Elle a été le fer de lance d’une coalition contre la violence fondée sur le genre qui a conduit à la qualification de l’incitation au viol comme crime de génocide, dans le cadre de la condamnation historique de Jean-Paul Akayesu en 1998.
