The horrific tragedies of Central Africa in the 1990s riveted the attention of the world. But these crises did not occur in a historical vacuum.

Questions the assumption that ""clans"" are static structures that hamper political centralization. By reconstructing the history of kings and clans in the Kivu Rift Valley at a time of social change, this book enlarges our understanding of social process and the growth of state power in Africa.
