This work studies genocide with particular reference to the civil war in Rwanda and the violence between the Hutu and the Tutsi. Michael Ignatieff says: 'It's a very impressive piece of work, a scholar's attempt to move beyond the cliches of horror towards a genuine understanding of the social dynamics which made horror possible. It's a good example of relevant, committed and passionate scholarship.' North America: Princeton U Press

Seftel, Adam

This study examines educational development and progress during the pre-colonial days and how it naturally led to the establishment of Western education in Uganda. It also discusses how Ugandans have struggled to use Western education with some readjustments after 1962 to solve theireconomic, political and social problems. The desire for western education continues to grow. The book looks at the sympathetic response of government, and its efforts to formulate policies and theories to fulfill its pledge to provide elementary education for all young people.

Women in African Economies cuts across the many sectors of the national economy, reaching from a woman who sells her surplus beans and maize in the village market to one who creates an international air frieght business. A broad review of the informal sector and women's participation in Africa's and Uganda's economic life is followed by a history of the surge of women's entrepreneurship during times of civil unrest, and women's political activism after 1986. Many of the business women are contending with globalization's competitive effects and with the structural adjustment programs urged on their government by donors. "Snyder succeeds in making at least one type of 'women's work' visible - those economic activities and contributions that are sofrequently ignored. In allowing the Ugandan women entrepreneurs to tell their own stories - of challenges, hard work, disappointment and sweet success - she lets the truth speak for itself. Her book is a compelling disclosure of both truth and myth concerning women in African economies" says Dr Hilda Tadria, Regional Advisor on Economic Empowerment of Women at the UNECA. The central thesis of the study is that as women create wealth and invest it in human well being, they broaden (democratize) their country's economic base. In so doing, they offer a new, non-western model of development. By boosting women's entrepreneurship with positive policies and actions, policy makers and international investors can counter poverty while giving the world an economic justice and growth model.
