This book provides an ethnography of a state-run civic education program based in a local neighborhood in Rwanda. In 2007, the Rwandan government launched a nationwide program, called Itorero, to teach all inhabitants about its vision of the model Rwandan citizen. Today, this ideal is pursued through remote training camps, village assemblies, and everyday forms of government. Based on ethnographic research of the life and workings of Itorero camps and the daily government of a local neighborhood in Kigali, this book asks how such a pursuit has come to affect Rwandans’ relation to the state and what it may tell us about modern forms of authoritarian rule. .

Le génocide des Tutsi du Rwanda en 1994 est emblématique de la catastrophe qui a frappé toute l'Afrique des Grands Lacs depuis une vingtaine d'années. Il n'a été le fruit ni d'une fureur conjoncturelle, ni d'une fatalité ethnographique ou biologique, mais il est le produit très moderne d'une option extrémiste, jouant du racisme comme arme de contrôle du pouvoir. En effet, cette mise en condition de tout un pays aurait été impossible sans l'inscription durable dans la culture de cette région d'Afrique d'une idéologie racialiste, discriminant, sous les étiquettes hutu et tutsi, des autochtones et des envahisseurs, le « vrai peuple » rwandais majoritaire et une « race de féodaux ». Ce livre décrypte la construction de cette idéologie, trop méconnue, qui oppose les « vrais Africains » à des « faux nègres », ceux qu'on a appelés les Hamites depuis les années 1860 dans la littérature africaniste. Le schéma racial dit « hamitique » est né de la même matrice intellectuelle que celui opposant Aryens et Sémites, qui a embrasé l'Europe dans les années 1930-1940.
