Abstract
Born in 1958, the Rwandan historian Raphaël Nkaka is currently a professor at the University of Rwanda. In 2013, he authored a landmark thesis on the history of racism and racial policies in Rwanda, from the beginning of the 20th century to the Tutsi genocide in 1994. In this interview, he first recounts his school and university career between 1977 and 1987, before he became a secondary school teacher, a time period that saw a profound renewal in Rwandan historiography as well as an increase in ethno-racial discrimination and violence in Rwanda. He then discusses his post-genocide activities as a lecturer and researcher at the University of Rwanda, where he has been since 1994, and as a producer of radio programmes. His biographical trajectory ties in with a number of prominent issues linked to the history of Rwanda, and more generally to the history of contemporary Africa and its narratives.
