Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes a number of Rwandan post-genocide initiatives aiming at developing a common sense of identity in the population and addressing social, cultural and economic issues. This proactive approach indicates the will of the Rwandan government with the cooperation of social actors to resort to traditional - and in some cases precolonial - cultural practices to resolve the problems of nation-building. The essays are well documented; many of them based on empirical studies.
