Becoming Rwandan - Education, Reconciliation, and the Making of a Post-Genocide Citizen

Informationen zum Autor S. Garnett Russell Klappentext In the aftermath of the genocide, the Rwandan government has used the education system as a way to sustain peace and shape a new generation of Rwandans. This book argues that although the government utilizes global discourses in national policy documents, the way in which teachers and students engage with these global models distorts its intention.
