- W1569799515 abstract "Ten years after the genocide in Rwanda, the government issued broad new laws outlawing the use of ethnic categories, with a view to uniting all Rwandans under a single Rwandan identity. This self-erasure of ethnic identity is deployed primarily within the borders of the state, to enable reconciliation after the genocide in 1994. Outside the borders, the state deploys ethnic identity as one of the rationales for its cross-border wars (in the Democratic Republic of Congo). The question posed by this brief essay is: what is the relation between the legal elision of identity within, the juridico-political deployment of identity without, and the category of identity (and its elision) to the legitimization of sovereign power? What is the nexus between the posit, or promise, of universal (post-identitarian) identity and the violence of the state? The essay uses the Rwandan story to critique the view, implicit in theories of modern sovereignty, that the quest for neutral or universal (human) identity, similar to the metaphysical quest for pure being, is the means toward solving the problem of law's violence as it pertains to ethnic, racial, political, and other identity. The Rwandan example posits an alternative story: that the neutral juridical subject engenders a complex rationale for the violence of and through the law." @default.
