Re-Imagining Rwanda :Conflict, Survival and Disinformation in the Late Twentieth Century.
Pottier, Johan.

Re-Imagining Rwanda :Conflict, Survival and Disinformation in the Late Twentieth Century.[electronic resource]. - Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2002. - 274 p.

Cover; Half-title; Series-title; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Maps; Acknowledgements; Abbreviations; Introduction: information and disinformation in times of conflict; 1 Build-up to war and genocide: society and economy in Rwanda and eastern Zaire; 2 Mind the gap: how the international press reported on society, politics and history; 3 For beginners, by beginners: knowledge construction under the Rwandese Patriotic Front; 4 Labelling refugees: international aid and the discourse of genocide; 5 Masterclass in surreal diplomacy: understanding the culture of ‘political correctness’

Pottier shows how the post-genocide regime in Rwanda imposed their account of Central Africa's crises upon international commentators, and explains the ideological underpinnings of this official narrative. He examines how persuasive, but fatally misleading analysis of the situation on the ground led to policy errors that exacerbated the original crisis.
