Abstract
This book is concerned with the history of state building in Rwandan. It shows that the growth of royal power in during the 19th century concentrated over land, cattle, and people in the hands of Tutsi who derived their power from their association with the state apparatus. During the 20th century this process intensified as Tutsi manipulated new material and coercive resources introduced by Europeans. In doing so, the Tutsi managed to exclude most Hutu from access to education, higher status jobs, and positions of responsibility in government structures.
