When Europe began colonizing Rwanda in the late nineteenth century,
the Anglican Church played a significant and long-lasting role in
controlling the colony through the Ruanda Mission. This informative
volume shows how the church repeatedly aligned with the regime in
power and failed to take account of its own history in fomenting
ethnic tensions prior to the 1994 genocide. In recent years, the
media has depicted Rwanda as a model of unity, development, and
recovery, yet Phillip A. Cantrell II argues that not all is as it
seems, as he takes a critical look at the church's complicity with
authoritarian rule-from the Tutsi monarchy to the Rwandan Patriotic
Front. Drawing from new archival materials as well as on-the-ground
field research, Revival and Reconciliation is a Rwanda-centered
account of the country's ecclesiastical and national
historiography. Cantrell calls attention to the harms the
postgenocide church risks doing should it continue to support false
narratives about Rwanda's colonial and postcolonial past-with
dangerous consequences for the future.
