In 1994 Rwanda faced one of the worst genocides in recorded history due to deep ethnic divisions within the country. But have controversial government attempts at reconciliation and state propaganda really healed a brutally divided society?
This video is part of our school series 'Representation, Protest and Political Movement’, which looks at the intersection of economics, politics and history and the effect on modern society. It is based on the published research Erasing Ethnicity? Propaganda, Nation Building, and Identity in Rwanda
(Arthur Blouin and Sharun W. Mukand).
The project is a partnership between Discover Economics, the ESRC CAGE Research Centre and the All-Ireland Centre of Excellence in Economics, History and Policy (CEPH).
