The Horrific Tragedies of Central Africa in the 1990s riveted the
attention of the world. But these crises did not occur in a
historical vacuum. By peering through the mists of the past, David
Newbury presents case studies illustrating the significant advances
in our understanding of the precolonial histories of Rwanda,
Burundi, and eastern Congo that have taken place since
decolonization. Based on both oral and written sources, the essays
compiled in ""The Land beyond the Mists"" are important both for
their methods - viewing history from the perspective of local
actors - and for their conclusions, which seriously challenge
colonial myths about the area.
