Quatrième de couverture
Peter Uvin explores the dramatic contradiction inherent in the existence of massive genocide in a country that was considered by western aid agencies to be a model of development. The first part of this groundbreaking work focuses on the 1990s and the dynamics of militarization and polarization that directly led to genocide. Uvin studies how the aid enterprise reacted or failed to react to those dynamics. The second part of the book deals with the profound, long-term structural basis upon which the genocidal edifice was built. The processes of inequality, exclusion and humiliation that have characterized social and economic life in Rwanda are considered and questions are raised about how development aid ignored and reinforced these characteristics of structural violence.
