Ethnocide ‐ discourse and perceptions
Abstract
These are two books which, on the surface, deal with very similar subjects. They focus on a form of inter‐communal violence, sometimes terms ‘tribalism’ when referring to the African variety (but not when examined elsewhere in the world). The violence in Rwanda and Burundi is practised by population groups which bear the same name in two comparably developed neighbouring states. It might even be wrongly surmised that the two states were a one‐time country now divided ‐ yet another manifestation of the geo‐political vagaries of the colonial legacy. Both books seek to rid us of some of our myths and preconceptions and to cause us to interrogate our information more closely. Yet they have very different methodologies and represent very different approaches to the subject.
