Description: Becoming Rwandan : Education, Reconciliation, and the Making of a Post-Genocide Citizen, Paperback by Russell, S. Garnett, ISBN 1978802862, ISBN-13 9781978802865, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This study sheds light on the role of education in transitional justice and reconciliation. Author S. Garnett Russell (international and comparative education, Teachers College, Columbia University; director, George Clement Bond Center for African Education) reports on her research into education for peacebuilding and national identity in post-genocide Rwanda. Presenting perspectives from teachers and students, the author investigates issues that arise when teaching and learning about citizenship, human rights, and reconciliation in a post-conflict and authoritarian context. She examines the goals and policies of the government, noting that education has been used for political ends by the government and pointing to the fact that Rwandan teachers are forbidden to discuss the human rights issues that led to the civil war, the genocide committed against the Tutsi, and the killings by the Tutsi-dominated Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). Appendices provide research methods, data analysis, and a list of national policy documents, curricula, and textbooks the author analyzed in her research.
