Produktbeschreibung
With its focus on personhood and self-making, it investigates gaps in understanding left behind by dominant frameworks for analyzing life in post-conflict societies, such as reconciliation, justice, and commemoration politics The argument is built around fundamental tensions in Rwandan configurations of personhood, which provides a novel entry point for thinking about how violent pasts make themselves felt in the present It focuses on urban dwellers outside the Rwandan capital - a largely unstudied population - to build analysis of how state-society relations are never just a matter of domination-resistance or domination-compliance, but rather how both state projects and ordinary people are caught in irresolvable tensions around what modern selves and modern nationhood ought to look like. It is based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork conducted over the course of a decade
