This historical overview of the complex subject of the extermination of the Tutsi in Rwanda, which is still very little known or understood in France, takes into account the most recent historiographical approaches and does not avoid the lively debates on its interpretation over the past twenty-five years. The result of remarkable archival research this work provides a straightforward, clear reading of the events.
Florent Piton is a graduate of l’École normale supérieure de Lyon and a history researcher at the Université Paris Diderot and the Centre d’études en sciences sociales sur les mondes africains, américains et asiatiques (Center for social studies on African, American and Asian worlds) (CESSMA). His research focuses on the history of social and political actions in Rwanda from 1952 to the genocide of the Tutsi.
