    Special Political Science Colloquium Spring 2003 Series
    "Rwanda 1994: Ethnicity, Race Theory and Genocide"
    Prof. Benyamin Neuberger
    2:30-4:00 p.m., Tuesday, April 13, 2004.
    Saunders Hall, Harry Friedman Conference room (Room 624)

    Professor Neuberger, a professor in political science and international relations at the Open University of Israel and Professor of African Studies at Tel Aviv University, is currently a visiting scholar at The Oxford Center for Hebrew and Jewish Studies. His forthcoming coming book is The Rwanda Genocide.

    (For background, here is a google news search on the Rwanda genocide and a PBS Frontline special on the Rwanda genocide. Here is a recent commentary by David Bryer, the current chairman of Oxfam International.)


    Remember the "shock and awe" strategy used in the war on Saddam? Here's Shock and Awe - the book! Note the year of publication. 

    "The problems inherent in reconstructing Germany are almost too much for us." Allen Dulles, top intelligence official, seven months after World War II. It's now seven months since the USA attacked Saddam's regime. From Paul Harvey online for 11/22/03 (4 min. 10 sec. into the program).

    Regarding migration, motivation and democratization, you might also be interested in his commentary (9min. 16sec. into the same commentary above) for Thanksgiving on the Pilgrims who landed on the tip of Cape Cod on low lying sandy beaches, and why they gave up on practices that have come to be associated with communism, for practices that have come to be known as capitalism. Also, for your reading pleasure, a somewhat spoofy Northwestern University site with bite (my alma mater) on democratism by Josh Buermann.
