- Checking... The Rwanda Crisis: History of a Genocide
Note: someone seemed irritated at some parts of the Myths and realities of pre-colonial Rwandese society chapter, at least going by the pencil markings in my copy.⸺(Random)staplers - If you are reading this talk page, you may be needed to help verify these sources.

- Checking... The Rwanda Crisis: History of a Genocide
- Racism, pp 5-6:
- French: Le Rwanda sous le régime du mandat belge (1916-1931) Google Books
- French: Rapport Annuel du Territoire de Nyanza (1925) - Can't find in a search yet...
- French: Rwanda de la féodalité à la démocratie 1955-1962; souvenirs d'un compagnon de la marche du Rwanda vers la démocratie et l'indépendance - dated 1986, but Google Books says 1989. Also the citation doesn't have anything past the semicolon
- French: Rapport sur l'administration belge du Ruanda-Urundi (1925) Not sure this is the correct one, dated 1927
- "The" Tropics (1958) by Jean-Paul Harroy - I didn't see a title in the citation, but this is my best guess. Not currently on my verification checklist at the moment.
- Page 10: "Rwandese monarchy". At this point, someone interested could probably break this and the above out into Ruanda-Urundi or a separate article.
- French: Peuples et rois de l'Afrique des lacs (1977) - Google Books - Seems authoritative, and may be written from an African POV
- Page 14:
- The Cohesion of Opression (1988) - published by the Columbia University press that seems to have been overlooked in the bibliography page.
- French: Les clans du Rwanda ancien (1971) - Google Books Rwanda crisis gives plaudits to this book for its detail on Rwandese clans.
- French: Afrique, la face cachée (1992) - Google Books Rwanda crisis takes pains to point out this book was written by a Tutsi when citing the Belgian actions of replacing Hutu chiefs.
- Page 23-ish: Only a brief mention of the German impact, but apparently is sourced from:
- Ruanda-Urundi, 1884-1919 (1963) (William Roger Louis, University of Michigan)
- German: Ruanda und Deutschland seit den Tagen Richard Kandts (1988) Google Books
- French: Le blanc est arrivé, le roi est parti (1987) - Google Books - published in Kigali. Important book from Rwandan POV
- Page 46: "Quota Democracy"
- Rwanda and Burundi (1970) (René Lemarchand, University of Michigan again)
- Page 47: UNAR. It's the Cold War; the book describes the UNAR as being backed by Communist countries. According to the books, this was around the time Belgian-Tutsi relations began to sour, to the point of "letting [the Hutu] burn Tutsi houses without intervening". Looks like this (seemingly, at the moment) important detail is missing from this article and the Rwandan civil war... adding these details might take a while. And of course, the cited source below is also in French...⸺(Random)staplers
- French: Afrique, la face cachée (1992) - (Partially) blames the Cold War. Confusing aftermath. See above for details.
- Page 50: Perceived aristocracy. By ithe time of independence, the book points out that, despite popular views, average incomes for Tutsi and Hutu were roughly the same: (4439 Tutsi, 4249 Hutu, 1446 Twa, Excludes politicians).
- French: Le niveau de vie des populations rurales du Ruanda-Urundi (1961) - Page 203. I can't seem to find the 1961 year on Google books, though.
- Church and Revolution in Rwanda (1977)
- Page 53: Pre-genocide violence against the Tutsi ("150 Tutsi were killed around Astrida (Butare) in September-October 1961, 3000 houses [burned]... 22000 [displaced]"
- See: Rwanda and Burundi (1970). Apparently came from a report by Richard Cox for the The Sunday Times.
- Page 76: The country falls into a single party system under Juvénal Habyarimana
- Page 79: "'Land of 1000 foreign aid workers'" (as of 1989)
- French: Le désenchantement de la coopération (1989) - Google Books
- Racism, pp 5-6:
- I'm going to skip Chapter 3, as it mostly concerns the Rwandan civil war. But interestingly, on page 104, the author admits they are a French speaker. Hence the large amount of French sources from this book.
