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. By peering through the mists of the past, the case studies presented in The Land Beyond the Mists illustrate the significant advances to have taken place since decolonization in our understanding of the pre-colonial histories of Rwanda, Burundi, and eastern Congo. Based on both oral and written sources, these essays are important both for their methods—viewing history from the perspective of local actors—and for their conclusions, which seriously challenge colonial myths about the area.

“ Set in the rain-forests of Thailand, the book attempts to explain some of the author’s theories, by way of allegory, to some of the most difficult questions each and every member of mankind has faced throughout all of time. “Why me?” “Life isn’t fair” “What happens when I die?” “What did I do to deserve this?”It’s also a gripping tale of pursuit, tragedy and surmounting tremendous odds. For those who identify themselves in the book, it’s a tale of their own personal struggles, hardship and what could be their greatest reward for staying their ground and not giving up. Enjoy.”
