This micro-sociological approach is welcome as community level understandings of the political can be quite different from centralized narratives. It is difficult to imagine a situation in which it is more important to capture both perspectives than the Rwandan genocide.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Sandra Joireman * Nations and Nationalism *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerhaps paradoxically, by heightening readers' awareness of the manifold individual actions, the author's methodological discarding of a received category—that of the 'mass'—leads to a deeper understanding of the complex interactions that led to 'mass' killings. The book offers a thoughtful—if, for some, provocative—analysis. It also reminds us that other links remain to be investigated if we are to make sense of the imbricated webs of nationwide violence.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Danielle de Lame * African Studies Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an excellent book. It uses oral and written sources very well, is beautifully written and clearly argued, and is truly a pleasure to read (notwithstanding its grim subject). It intelligently describes and tries to explain the ambiguity of the genocide, a process that seems so clear (and evil) and yet, upon closer inspection, becomes far more blurry.... \u003ci\u003eKilling Neighbors\u003c\/i\u003e poses tough questions and contains far-reaching implications for thinking about genocide and civil violence more generally.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Peter Uvin * Perspectives on Politics *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Genocide among Neighbors\u003cbr\u003e 1 Conducting Fieldwork in the Aftermath of War and Genocide\u003cbr\u003e 2 Violence and Identity in Historical Perspective\u003cbr\u003e 3 Local Narratives and Explanations\u003cbr\u003e 4 The Enigma of Ethnicity\u003cbr\u003e 5 The Power of Local Ties\u003cbr\u003e 6 The Logic of Groups\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003ci\u003eDramatis personae\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of Kinyarwanda Terms\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MB - Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50577473601879,"sku":"9780801447051","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/killing-neighbors-webs-of-violence-in-rwanda-9780801447051","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
