Book Synopsis
Revolutions are often seen in terms of a spontaneous burst of intense political activity; less attention usually is given to the structures, processes, and perceptions that make such activity possible. This book examines such long-term transformations as they relate to the revolution in the Central African nation of Rwanda.

Table of Contents
Part 1 Statebuilding in pre-colonial and colonial Rwanda: Kinyaga and Central Rwanda - early contacts; state and society under Rwabugiri; dual colonialism. Part 2 Patron-client politics: early clientship; the changing status of corporate Kin groups; the transformation of client institutions. Part 3 The cohesion of oppression: Kinyaga and the Kivu complex; pre-independence politics and protest.
