Always on the periphery, the region of Buragane in southern Burundi has left only faint traces on the written historical record. It was a frontier region between the kingdoms of Buha and Burundi, claimed but never completely conquered by the princes of Burundi. It was a remote and politically insignificant zone, governed by, but until the 1930s not well known to, Germans and Belgians. It was never the hub of any activity, nor the seedbed of any process, upon which academics have focused the historical research of the Great Lakes region up to now. From a scholar's vantage point, Buragane was ordinary, unremarkable. Historiographically it has tended to "fall through the cracks" between its oft-examined neighbors. But locally within Buragane, family elders tell rich and textured tales about their past, focusing upon their families, their leaders, and the struggles of their forebears of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Examining historical issues that literate historians have not examined, reflecting on modes of historical causality that academicians have tended to dismiss or overlook, Baragane elders entertain lively debates about the past that can shed new light on the established academic perspectives. This dissertation draws from oral historical sources, employing them to develop a historical context for the biography of one man, Kiburwa, who figured among the region's most prominent political leaders in the early twentieth century, and who since his death in the 1930s, has been a dominant personage in local history.Subjects--Topical Terms:
