Reaching beyond the better-studied topics of post-conflict justice and memory, the book investigates the project of civic education, the upsurge of state-led neo-traditional institutions and activities, and the use of camps and retreats shape the “ideal” Rwandan citizen. Rwanda’s \u003cem\u003eingando\u003c\/em\u003e camps offer unique insights into the uses of dislocation and liminality in an attempt to anchor identities and desired political roles, to practically orient and symbolically place individuals in the new Rwandan order, and, ultimately, to create additional platforms for the reproduction of political power itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This is a book that deserves to be widely read.

The visions and dominant ideology that underpin the national project, along with the strategies being deployed to achieve it, are addressed with rich detail and precision. This ethnographic study also offers a fine account of daily politics as lived by Kigali residents.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Johan Pottier\u003c\/strong\u003e, SOAS, University of London\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e \tAbbreviations\u003cbr\u003e \tGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eMap I:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rwanda\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eMap II:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Layout of Nkumba Ingando Camp\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART I: INTRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eKubaka Ubumwe\u003c\/em\u003e: Building Unity in a Divided Society\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Settling the Unsettled: The Politics and Policing of Meaning in Rwanda\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART II: THE POLITICAL PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Wording of Power: Legitimisation as Narrative Currency and Political Intimation\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Presencing Effect: Surveillance and State Reach in Rwanda\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Incorporation, Disconnect: The Embodiments of Power and the Unworking of Contestation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART III: MAKING ‘UBUMWE’: THE IMAGERIES, PLANNING AND PERFORMANCES OF ‘UNITY’ IN RWANDA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Unity’s Multiplicities: Ambiguity at Work\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Performances and Platforms: Activities of Unity and Reconciliation in the Contexts of Power\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eIngando\u003c\/em\u003e Camps: Nation Building as Consent Building\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rights of Passage: Liminality and the Reproduction of Power\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePART IV: CONCLUSIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Yeast of Change: Civic Education, Social Transformation and the New Development Corps\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/strong\u003e What Kind of Unity?
