Scope and content This collection of 7 documents provides historical, cultural and economic information on Burundi culture and society, circa 1907-1998. Documents that discuss the colonial period cover important themes including physical geography and material culture, ethnicity and social structure, law and custom, and gender roles and cultural ideals. Other documents deal with political processes and important historical events in the post independence period including the politics of genocide in the Great Lakes region. This includes R. Lemarchand's analysis of the genocide of Hutu by Tutsi in Burundi, of Tutsi and Hutu by Hutu in Rwanda and of Hutu by Tutsi in Congo. Also included is a book by a professional anthropologist who lived among Burundian Hutu refugees in Tanzania. Malkki focuses on the ways the displacement of these Hutu refugees led to the creation of "essentialist" ethnic identities and the horrible violence generated both in Burundi and neighboring countries.
