Recenzii

'Desrosiers' thoughtful analysis of a rich array of archival materials and original interviews offers readers an unparalleled 'granular' account of Rwanda's First and Second Republics. The result is an essential text that promises to have a transformative impact on current understandings of these often-oversimplified regimes and studies of authoritarianism.' Erin Jessee, University of Glasgow
'This book fills a surprising gap in scholarship on Rwanda by providing a detailed analysis of the first two post-colonial governments. Desrosiers uses the Rwanda case to challenge existing simplistic ideas about authoritarian regimes, making this essential reading not only for those interested in Rwanda but for anyone interested in governance and authoritarianism.' Timothy Longman, Boston University
'Based on impeccable archival research and a mastery of the secondary literature, this work stresses the constant 'political grind' required to maintain authoritarian structures in Rwanda before the genocide. Desrosiers reminds us that the trajectory of such regimes consists only of 'elusive control', and lays new foundations for understanding both authoritarian dynamics and post-genocide Rwandan politics.' David Newbury, Smith College
'This is a lively contribution to the literature on authoritarianism. Closely observed and richly described, Desrosiers convincingly argues for a nuanced understanding of Rwanda's postcolonial regimes. In investigating the banal uncertainties of authoritarian rule, Desrosiers provides a brilliant interpretation of Rwanda's pre-genocide period.' Susan Thomson, Colgate University
