Brickyards to Graveyards examines how the overidealized picture of
Rwanda as the darling of the world community in the 1980s was
shattered amidst the genocide that occurred a decade later. The
brick and tile industries of Rwanda provide a microcosm to examine
the transformation of gender, class, and power relations through
the precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial periods, and provide
insights into the explosive impact of these changes on Rwandan
culture and society. The book illustrates how these gender, class,
and power relations played out in times of economic, political, and
demographic crisis, and argues that these factors have not changed
significantly since the Rwandan Patriotic Front took power in 1994.
