In it's motivation and construction, I argue that the Rwandan genocide needs to be understood as a natives' genocide. It was a genocide by those who saw themselves as sons and daughters of the soil, and their mission as one of clearing the soil of a threatening alien presence.

The moment of appropriation targeted the beneficiaries of the old order. In doing so, it tended to unify the victims. In contrast, the moment of redistribution disaggregated this latter group- because it created out of this group the beneficiaries of the new order.

I read it in uni! I was just going through my old books and decided to read it again. I remember it being really interesting especially since the Rwandan genocide is just so hard for me to understand, harder really than anything else humans have done. It's just so incomprehensible how an entire population can turn on their neighbors like that, without really a lot of external prompting. I think the author is a pretty well-known intellectual and now his son has become suddenly famous.
