Résumé anglais Shrinking Farmland in Rwanda : Peasants in Crisis Rwanda is in the throes of a political and social crisis that, besides the struggle for control over the government, affects the future of several million peasants. The everyday existence of the latter depends on the ability of political authorities and individuals to restructure agricultural production on an overcrowded, fragile land. Between the short-run necessities of conservation and the need to promote economic development for peasants, there are several contradictions that may soon result in a dead end. What remains of national solidarity would be menaced. Given the deep crisis the peasantry is undergoing, current fights for power become absurd. An agrarian revolution must be launched.
