From Privilege to Genocide: The Hutu/Tutsi Conflict and Its Colonial Roots" explores the complex and harrowing journey of the Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups in Rwanda, deeply intertwined with colonial history. Authored by Kofi Piesie, the book delves into the pivotal events that shaped the identities and destinies of these groups, beginning with the Berlin Conference that marked the start of intense European interference in Africa. It critically examines the role of colonial powers in exacerbating ethnic divisions, notably through the Belgian administration's preferential policies that favored the Tutsi minority, setting the stage for decades of tension and the eventual genocide.

The manuscript not only recounts historical events but also provides a profound analysis of colonial legacies and their modern-day implications. Through detailed chapters, the reader gains insights into the socio-political dynamics that led to the 1994 genocide, making this book a vital resource for understanding the depth and breadth of historical injustices that have shaped contemporary Rwanda.
