The Failure of Living-Together in Rwanda: What is the Responsibility of History Textbooks? Year of publication: 2013 Author: Éric Mutabazi Corporate author: McGill University. Faculty of Education Rwanda, landlocked in the Great Lakes region in Central Africa, has known war and massacres resulting in the 1994 genocide. Many critics and researchers have attempted to explain the reasons behind the inhuman and monstrous massacres that ravaged this country. While political, historical and economical factors are more often invoked to justify these horrible events, this article seeks to draw attention to the responsibility of history textbooks in the failure of living-together in pre-genocide Rwanda. Our analysis of textbook content reveals that certain values transmitted through the teaching of Rwanda’s history has generated injustice, inequality, victimisation, suffering, etc., at school and in society. We attempt to demonstrate how textbook content contributed to the failure of living-together in Rwanda and we propose alternative perspectives to guide the development of content that can contribute to peace, unity and living-together in post-genocide Rwanda. Échec du vivre-ensemble au Rwanda : quelle est la responsabilité des manuels scolaires d’histoire ? Year of publication: 2013 Author: Éric Mutabazi Corporate author: McGill University. Faculty of Education Le Rwanda, enclavé dans la région des Grands Lacs en Afrique centrale, a connu la guerre et les massacres aboutissant au génocide de 1994. Plusieurs penseurs et chercheurs ont tenté d’expliquer les raisons de ces massacres inhumains et monstrueux qui ont ravagé ce pays. Alors que les facteurs politiques, historiques et économiques sont plus souvent évoqués pour justifier ces horribles événements, cette contribution consiste à dégager la responsabilité des manuels scolaires d’histoire dans l’échec du vivre-ensemble au Rwanda avant le génocide. Notre analyse des contenus des manuels scolaires révèle que certaines valeurs transmises à travers l’enseignement de l’histoire du Rwanda ont généré toutes sortes d’injustices, d’inégalités, de victimisation, de souffrances, etc., à l’école et dans la société. Nous essaierons de montrer en quoi le contenu des manuels a contribué à l’échec du vivre-ensemble au Rwanda et nous proposerons des perspectives qui pourraient guider l’élaboration du nouveau contenu contribuant à la paix, à l’unité et au vivre-ensemble au Rwanda après le génocide.
