Between Tradition and Modernity: The Non-Ethnic Identity in Post-Genocide Rwanda

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Modernisation of Rwanda since the end of the genocide has been an ambivalent proces. Strong focus on economic development and security is undermined by suppressing liberal values and accompanied by social engineering that results in creating a new non-ethnic national identity called Rwandanness. Defining the boundaries of national identity and imposing it on the society from the top prevents all individiuals from choosing their own personal identity. Questioning these practices is understood as divisioning and disparaging the post-genocide development. The political implications are obvious: artificially created national identity successfully covers the Tutsi rule over the country. The article thus analyses specific tools designed by the regime that serve this purpose: re-education ingando camps, primary schools curricula and the agricultural reform pattern. In the end, the Rwandanness is only a facade legitimizing the non-democratic practices of the RPF-led regime.
