- Title
LE MONDE À PART DES TWA DU RWANDA.
- Authors
ERNY, Pierre
- Abstract
Rwanda's Twa, most generally included in the pygmoïd populations of Central Africa, present physical, social and cultural features which have tended to justify their qualifications as "race", "ethnic group" or "caste". Despised and prejudiced by the Tutsi as well as by the Hutu, they live apart, disseminated in small family groups which practice either hunting or pottery. At the time of the kingdom, they were very active at the court, occupying various functions, among which that of executioner. Within a society subject to very high constraints, the aside world of the Twa represents unto this day a surprising islet of freedom.
