Becoming Rwandan

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

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
