This book offers a novel sociological examination of the historical
trajectories of Burundi and Rwanda. It challenges both the
Eurocentric assumptions which have underpinned many sociological
theorisations of modernity, and the notion that the processes of
modernisation move gradually, if precariously, towards more
peaceable forms of cohabitation within and between societies.
Addressing these themes at critical historical junctures -
precolonial, colonial and postcolonial - the book argues that the
recent experiences of extremely violent social conflict in Burundi
and Rwanda cannot be seen as an 'object apart' from the concerns of
sociologists, as it is commonly presented. Instead, these
experiences are situated within a specific route to and through
modernity, one 'entangled' with Western modernity. A contribution
to an emerging global historical sociology, Entanglements of
Modernity, Colonialism and Genocide will appeal to scholars of
sociology and social theory with interests in postcolonialism,
historical sociology, multiple modernities and genocide.
