BETWEEN GENOCIDE AND “GENOCIDE”

History and Theory, 2011
ABSTRACTThe two books discussed here join a current pushback against the concept (thus also against claims for the historical occurrence) of genocide.

In Rwanda and Burundi, in particular, getting at the truth will remain problematic as long as the perpetrators of genocide readily cast themselves in the role of victims, and the

Ethnic Genocide

Issue, 1975
There are few parallels to the human holocaust that took place in Burundi in 1972 in the wake of a tortuous competitive struggle between the country’s two major ethnic groups, the Hutu and the Tutsi.
