The first generation of children born after Rwanda's 1994 genocide
is just now reaching maturity, setting aside their school uniforms
to take up adult roles in Rwandan society and the economy. At the
same time, Rwanda's post-war government has begun to shrug off
international aid as it pursues an increasingly independent path of
business-friendly yet strongly state-regulated social and economic
development. The Orderly Entrepreneur tells the story of a new
Rwanda now at the vanguard among developing countries, emulating
the policies of Singapore, Korea, and China, and devoutly committed
to entrepreneurship as a beacon for 21st century economic growth.
Drawing on ethnographic research with nearly 500 participants, The
Orderly Entrepreneur investigates the impact and reception of the
Rwandan government's multiyear entrepreneurship curriculum, first
implemented in 2007 as required learning in all secondary schools.
As Honeyman shows, "entrepreneurship" is more than a benign
buzzword or hopeful panacea for economic development, but a complex
ideal with unique meanings across Rwandan society. She reveals how
curriculum developers, teachers, and students all brought their own
interpretations and influence to the new entrepreneurship
curriculum, exposing how even a carefully engineered project of
social transformation can be full of indeterminacies and surprising
twists every step of the way.
