Reaching beyond the better-studied topics of post-conflict justice and memory, the book investigates the project of civic education, the upsurge of state-led neo-traditional institutions and activities, and the use of camps and retreats shape the “ideal” Rwandan citizen. Rwanda’s ingando camps offer unique insights into the uses of dislocation and liminality in an attempt to anchor identities and desired political roles, to practically orient and symbolically place individuals in the new Rwandan order, and, ultimately, to create additional platforms for the reproduction of political power itself UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781782388333 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781782388333 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781782388333/original ER -
