An essential exploration of and guide to research ethics in the
field. Researchers working in Africa are engaged in ethical,
methodological, logistical, emotional and professional compromises.
Juggling the demands of being a researcher and being human,
scholars must balance the recording of data withthe emotional
demands of listening, of analyzing and reporting personal, and
often contradictory, narratives. This book recognizes these
challenges and lays bare the underlying and important process by
which the researcher grapples with emotions, and how 'feelings'
inform and shape data collection, interpretation, write-up and
dissemination. Based on widely researched on-the-ground work, the
contributors reveal the ambiguities and inconsistences that emerge
at all stages of fieldwork and how to tackle them. They examine the
ethical quagmires that arise when doing research on sensitive
topics in a researcher's own living environment, and suggest how to
manage the complex interaction between the researcher's own
identity and social relationships in the field, and navigate the
role of researcher when activism risks access to the field.
A sobering study of the troubled African nation, both pre- and
post-genocide, and its uncertain future The brutal civil war
between Hutu and Tutsi factions in Rwanda ended in 1994 when the
Rwandan Patriotic Front came to power and embarked on an ambitious
social, political, and economic project to remake the devastated
central-east African nation. Susan Thomson, who witnessed the
hostilities firsthand, has written a provocative modern history of
the country, its rulers, and its people, covering the years prior
to, during, and following the genocidal conflict. Thomson's
hard-hitting analysis explores the key political events that led to
the ascendance of the Rwandan Patriotic Front and its leader,
President Paul Kagame. This important and controversial study
examines the country's transition from war to reconciliation from
the perspective of ordinary Rwandan citizens, Tutsi and Hutu alike,
and raises serious questions about the stability of the current
peace, the methods and motivations of the ruling regime and its
troubling ties to the past, and the likelihood of a genocide-free
future.
