Editorial Review (from Amazon.com)

Winner of the 1999 Herskovits Award by the African Studies Association. This boldly critical book explores the contradiction of massive genocide in a country considered by Western aid agencies to be a model of development. Focusing on the 1990s dynamics of militarization and polarization that led to genocide, Uvin reveals how aid enterprises reacted, or failed to react, to those dynamics. He goes on to discuss the profound structural basis upon which the genocidal edifice was built.
