“…The process is traceable not only through documents like Vision 2020 that explicitly set out goals and required changes for the country, but also through examples like the RPF’s construction of knowledge about Rwandan history and politics (Pottier, 2002) or the wide-ranging attempts at national transformation outlined by Straus and Waldorf (2011). Efforts include gender relations and political representation (Berry, 2015; Burnet, 2008); citizenship and civic education (Purdeková, 2015; Sundberg, 2016); identity and ethnicity (Eramian, 2018; Hintjens, 2008); and reconciliation and transitional justice (Doughty, 2016; Longman, 2017; Thomson, 2013). Government interventions also target the physical landscape, land use, and built structures through initiatives such as villagization and land reform (Ansoms, 2009; Newbury, 2011) and projects of urban development that aim to reshape the capital city, Kigali (Goodfellow, 2017; Shearer, 2017).…”
