Politics, Religion and Power in the Great Lakes Region covers the political,
religious and power relations in the contemporary Great Lakes States: Uganda,
Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Tanzania, Kenya and
the Sudan. The work is important because of the nexus between these countries'
shared present and past - their political, socio-economic, cultural and
historical aspirations. In terms of regional cooperation, they are the
countries, save for the DRC and the Sudan, which form the current East African
Community (EAC). The book reflects on the complex dynamics and strategies of
the ensuing power struggle, bringing forth a unique set of fascinating
revelations of patterns of primitive capital accumulation, resistance, human
rights violations and the political compromises between traditional enemies
when confronted by a common (foreign) enemy. A critical analysis of the
political distortion the region suffered brings to light the relevance of
these divisive tools on the current trends in the African countries, drawing
inferences from the African Great Lakes Region (GLR). The study highlights how
the conflicts were finally resolved to avert a serious war, thus bringing
about new reforms. This history is instructive to the contemporary reader
because of the frequent skirmishes caused by ethnic and religious differences,
political and territorial conflicts as well as resource and leadership
disputes in the GLR.
