Identity and Discourse in Contemporary Rwandan Media: Rethinking Reconciliation examines how post-genocide Rwandan media uses the language of forgiveness to support political stability while undermining dissent. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of how media language shapes political ideology in post-conflict societies through detailed analysis of Rwanda's mediascape. The book contextualizes post-ethnic discourse across multiple media platforms rather than focusing solely on state-run radio, revealing the multifaceted relationship between media practice, regulation, and acceptable ideology. Building on foundational works by Alan Thompson and Gerard Prunier, the book establishes clear connections between Rwanda's nationalist project of post-ethnic identity and state-sponsored reconciliation, providing critical insights into media's role in political control and social engineering. This book is written for scholars, researchers, and advanced students in media studies, journalism, and peace and conflict studies. It will appeal to academics studying post-conflict media, political communication, and African studies, as well as practitioners working in international development, conflict resolution, and media policy.
