This book provides a juridical, sociopolitical history of the
evolution of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Over one million citizens
were massacred in less than 100 days via a highly organized,
efficiently executed genocide throughout the tiny country of
Rwanda. While genocide is not a unique phenomenon in modern times,
a genocide like Rwanda's is unique. Unlike most genocides, wherein
a government plans and executes mass murder of a targeted portion
of its population, asking merely that the majority population look
the other way, or at most, provide no harbor to the targeted
population (ex: Germany), the Rwandan government relied heavily on
the civilian population to not only politically support, but
actively engage in the acts of genocide committed over the 100 days
throughout the spring of 1994. This book seeks to understand why
and how the Rwandan genocide occurred. It analyzes the colonial
roots of modern Rwandan government and the development of the
political "state of exception" created in Rwanda that ultimately
allowed the sovereign to dehumanize the minority Tutsi population
and execute the most efficient genocide in modern history.
