The Path to Genocide in Rwanda: Security, Opportunity, and Authority in an Ethnocratic State by Omar Shahabudin McDoom
The Rwandan genocide of 1994 has attracted a lot of scholarship that has sought to examine its causes, course, impact, and the failure of the international community to forestall its occurrence, among other themes. Some scholars have paid particular attention to the “madness” that attended the execution of the genocide by which, within one hundred days between April and July 1994, an estimated 800,000 people were killed in a genocidal frenzy that…
Political Science and African Political Epistemologies: The Dialectics of Developmentalist vs. Emancipatory Approaches
The premise of this article is that there has been a dialectical duality to the political science study of Africa, in terms of scholars and focus.

Political Transition without Transformation: The Dialectic of Liberalization without Democratization in Kenya and Zambia
The decade from 1990 to 2000 saw a total of seventy-eight top leadership elections involving forty-three of the forty-eight sub-Saharan African countries. Of these, only twenty-one elections led to power transition from an incumbent to an opposition political party in nineteen countries. Paradoxically, even where there was such transition, authoritarian tendencies persisted. Focusing on Kenya and Zambia, this article argues and seeks to demonstra…
