Paperback. Condición: New. A Rwandan proverb says "Defeat is the only bad news." For Rwandans living under colonial rule, winning called not only for armed confrontation, but also for a battle of wits-and not only with foreigners, but also with each other. In Defeat Is the Only Bad News, Alison Des Forges recounts the ambitions, strategies, and intrigues of an African royal court under Yuhi Musinga, the Rwandan ruler from 1896 to 1931. These were turbulent years for Rwanda, when first Germany and then Belgium pursued an aggressive plan of colonization there. At the time of the Europeans' arrival, Rwanda was also engaged in a succession dispute after the death of one of its most famous kings. Against this backdrop, the Rwandan court became the stage for a drama of Shakespearean proportions, filled with deceit, shrewd calculation, ruthless betrayal, and sometimes murder. Historians who study European expansion typically focus on interactions between colonizers and colonized; they rarely attend to relations among the different factions inhabiting occupied lands. Des Forges, drawing on oral histories and extensive archival research, reveals how divisions among different groups in Rwanda shaped their responses to colonial governments, missionaries, and traders. Rwandans, she shows, used European resources to extend their power, even as they sought to preserve the autonomy of the royal court. Europeans, for their part, seized on internal divisions to advance their own goals. Des Forges's vividly narrated history, meticulously edited and introduced by David Newbury, provides a deep context for understanding the Rwandan civil war a century later.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -»Als ich nach draußen kam, waren keine Vögel da. Die Sonne schien, und es stank nach Tod.« Ein Überlebender des Völkermords Während des Völkermordes 1994 in Ruanda wurden innerhalb von 13 Wochen mindestens eine halbe Million Menschen getötet. Obwohl die Täter ausschließlich zu den Hutu und die Opfer überwiegend zu den Tutsi zählten, waren nicht ethnische Spannungen zwischen den beiden Volksgruppen das Motiv: Eine kleine, privilegierte Gruppe in Kigali fürchtete ihre Entmachtung und initiierte den Massenmord. Auch die von Anfang an gutinformierte internationale Gemeinschaft, die den Massakern untätig zusah, trägt eine Mitverantwortung an dem Genozid. Laut Alison Des Forges hätte ein entschlossenes gemeinsames Vorgehen auf politischer oder militärischer Ebene das Blutvergießen höchstwahrscheinlich verhindern oder beenden können. 948 pp. Deutsch.
