 Checking... The Rwanda Crisis: History of a Genocide
Note: someone seemed irritated at some parts of the Myths and realities of pre-colonial Rwandese society chapter, at least going by the pencil markings in my copy.⸺(Random)staplers If you are reading this talk page, you may be needed to help verify these sources. Don't get overwhelmed; just pick one, and ideally, boldly edit to help improve the article. If you don't feel like editng, click here to add a section to the talk page..
- Racism, pp 5-6:
- Page 10: "Rwandese monarchy". At this point, someone interested could probably break this and the above out into Ruanda-Urundi or a separate article.
- French: Peuples et rois de l'Afrique des lacs (1977) - Google Books - Seems authoritative, and may be written from an African POV
- Page 14:
 ? The Cohesion of Opression (1988) - published by the Columbia University press that seems to have been overlooked in the bibliography page.- French: Les clans du Rwanda ancien (1971) - Google Books Rwanda crisis gives plaudits to this book for its detail on Rwandese clans.
- French: Afrique, la face cachée (1992) - Google Books Rwanda crisis takes pains to point out this book was written by a Tutsi when citing the Belgian actions of replacing Hutu chiefs.
- Page 23-ish: Only a brief mention of the German impact, but apparently is sourced from:
- Page 46: "Quota Democracy"
- Page 47: UNAR. It's the Cold War; the book describes the UNAR as being backed by Communist countries. According to the books, this was around the time Belgian-Tutsi relations began to sour, to the point of "letting [the Hutu] burn Tutsi houses without intervening". Looks like this (seemingly, at the moment) important detail is missing from this article and the Rwandan civil war... adding these details might take a while. And of course, the cited source below is also in French...⸺(Random)staplers
- French: Afrique, la face cachée (1992) - (Partially) blames the Cold War. Confusing aftermath. See above for details.
- Page 50: Perceived aristocracy. By ithe time of independence, the book points out that, despite popular views, average incomes for Tutsi and Hutu were roughly the same: (4439 Tutsi, 4249 Hutu, 1446 Twa, Excludes politicians).
- Page 53: Pre-genocide violence against the Tutsi ("150 Tutsi were killed around Astrida (Butare) in September-October 1961, 3000 houses [burned]... 22000 [displaced]"
- See: Rwanda and Burundi (1970). Apparently came from a report by Richard Cox for the The Sunday Times.
- Page 76: The country falls into a single party system under Juvénal Habyarimana
- Page 79: "'Land of 1000 foreign aid workers'" (as of 1989)
- I'm going to skip Chapter 3, as it mostly concerns the Rwandan civil war. But interestingly, on page 104, the author admits they are a French speaker. Hence the large amount of French sources from this book.
