It was a well-organized society with features that resembled those of the modern state. In order to understand the origin of the racist project that resulted in a divided Rwanda in the twentieth century, the authors examine historical roots that enabled subsequent ‘divide and conquer’ tactics intrinsic to politicized identity. This paper examines Rwanda’s civil war and genocide, tracing root causes to horrific race theories and state building “conversations,” and discusses the settlement process in terms of root cause factors1 digital file (50 p.)Application/pdfenRWANDASOUTH OF SAHARASTATE BUILDINGCOLONIALISMCOLONIZATIONBELGIUMWAR CRIMESINTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURTGENOCIDECIVIL WARETHNICITYVIOLENCERACISMIDENTITY POLITICSADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICEACCESS TO JUSTICEPEACEBUILDINGWorking Paper
