  The horrific tragedies of Central Africa in the 1990s riveted the attention of the world. By peering through the mists of the past, this book presents case studies that illustrate the significant advances to have taken place since decolonization in our understanding of the pre-colonial histories of Rwanda, Burundi, and eastern Congo.
