Rwandan Kingdom

Rwandan Kingdom explores the captivating history of Rwanda's monarchy, examining its pre-colonial power structures, the disruptions of European colonialism, and its ultimate fall in post-independence politics. The book argues that understanding the Rwandan monarchy is crucial for grasping Rwanda's modern political landscape and the roots of its contemporary social dynamics. Intriguingly, the pre-colonial kingdom had an intricate system of clientage and land tenure that significantly shaped later sociopolitical transformations.

The book traces Rwandan history from the kingdom's origins and zenith, analyzing its social hierarchy and economic system to the shifts in power dynamics brought about by colonial rule and the instrumentalization of ethnic divisions. The study uses historical documents, oral traditions, and scholarly research to offer a balanced perspective. Rwandan Kingdom is unique because it provides a long-term historical perspective, tracing the roots of conflict and resilience within Rwandan society, unlike many works that focus solely on the Rwandan genocide.
