The Great Lakes of Africa: Two Thousand Years of History,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Although the genocide of 1994 catapulted Rwanda onto the international stage, Englishlanguage historical accounts of the Great Lakes region of Eastern Africa are still scarce. Drawing on a wide range of sources colonial archives, oral tradition, archaeological discoveries, studies in anthropology and linguistics, and his thirty years of scholarship JeanPierre Chrtien offers a major synthesis of the history of the region, which encompasses Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Eastern Congo, and Western Tanzania, a region still plagued by extremely violent wars.The Great Lakes of Africa: Two Thousand Years of History first retraces the human settlement and the formation of kingdoms around the sources of the Nile, which were discovered by European explorers around 1860. Chrtien then describes these kingdoms complex social and political organization and analyzes how the colonizers German, British, and Belgian not only transformed and exploited the existing power structures, but also projected their own racial categories onto them.Finally, the author shows how the independent states of the postcolonial era, in particular Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda, have been trapped by their colonial and precolonial legacies, and especially by the racial rewriting of the latter by the former. Today, argues Chrtien, the Great Lakes region of Africa is crucial for historical research: not only because its history is particularly fascinating but also because the tragedies of its present are very much a function of the political manipulations of its past.
