Inhaltsangabe

Approaches post-genocide governance, citizenship and nation building through a unique lens - the local uses of the concept of ubumwe or unity. Outlines the productive ambiguity at the root of this concept by tracing its deployments in diverse arenas from rhetoric, office work, street talk to camp, showing in detail how politics and state power interlace with the nation-building project. Discusses in detail the nature and effects of state reach and state presence in people's everyday lives. Highlights and explains the centrality of civic education in the post-genocide social transformation project. Offers the first in-depth look at the ingando camps, their emergence post-genocide, their different types and the objectives they serve, and importantly, an inside look at the space itself and the experience it fosters.
