- Title
Revival and Reconciliation: The Anglican Church and the Politics of Rwanda.
- Authors
Zink, Jesse
- Abstract
Cantrell begins with an extensive analysis of the emergence of Hutu and Tutsi as social descriptors and argues that the terms pre-date colonial arrival but were deepened and further reified by Belgian officials. Cantrell's key (and correct) conclusion is that Anglican Church leadership is now so closely allied with the government that it is involved in actively misrepresenting Rwanda's history and reality, including to foreign supporters in the United States and elsewhere. Cantrell's account largely ends there, though there have been at least two archbishops since Kolini, including one, Onesphore Rwaje, who is Hutu, which complicates the argument of a Tutsi-led church aligned with a Tutsi-led government.
