Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au Congo-Kinshasa sont souvent associés les nombreux viols commis par des groupes armés et des soldats incontrôlés dans sa partie orientale. Pourtant, la République démocratique du Congo (le nom officiel du Congo-Kinshasa) est un pays complexe, qui ne peut se résumer aux guerres qui ont dévasté une infime partie de son territoire au cours de ces dernières années et qui, pour l'essentiel, dérivent du génocide rwandais de 1994. Ce pays immense dispose d'un sol fertile et d'un sous-sol riche. La RDC est attachante par sa diversité culturelle et artistique, par l'hospitalité légendaire de ses peuples ainsi que par la variété de ses paysages, de sa faune et de sa flore. Dès le XVe siècle, les Portugais coopèrent avec le royaume Kongo. L'or, l'ivoire, le cuivre et les esclaves les intéressent. Il faut attendre la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle pour voir la Belgique, sous la houlette du roi Léopold II, l'emporter sur les autres nations européennes lancées dans une course effrénée à la colonisation. La Conférence de Berlin, qui attribue officiellement le territoire du Congo au roi des Belges en 1885, est une victoire majeure pour Léopold II. Celui-ci ne rêve que d'une chose : accroître la force de frappe économique de la Belgique en exploitant les richesses de cette terre lointaine. L'inexorable marche vers l'indépendance est émaillée de révoltes et de violences. Depuis qu il s'est défait du joug de la colonisation, le 30 juin 1960, le pays a connu des sécessions, des guerres et des assassinats politiques. Quatre présidents se sont succédé jusqu'ici aux commandes du Congo indépendant : Joseph Kasa-Vubu, Mobutu Sese Seko, Laurent-Désiré Kabila et Joseph Kabila. A chacun son style. Mais les grands défis d'hier sont presque les mêmes que ceux d'aujourd'hui. Le plus grand pays d'Afrique sub-saharienne a reculé en termes de développement et tarde à jouer le rôle qui aurait dû lui revenir tout naturellement

Pas tout à fait, tant ses frontières sont convoitées et disputées. Un continent ? Pas complète- ment. Un peuple ? Pas si sûr. Alors, une fresque ? Evidemment ! Le Congo est un tableau peint au rythme de l'Afrique, sur une toile immense où l'ardeur de survivre et l'ingéniosité forment les ressorts d'une naïveté apparente et si séduisante. Le Congo est musical, il danse, il chante, il vibre quand il rit et quand il pleure, sur les rives du grand fleuve, cette artère profonde de l'Afrique remontée par des aventuriers tout droits sortis du coeur des ténèbres. Ce petit livre n'est pas un guide. C'est un décodeur. La rumba congolaise y rythme l'amour et les folies de la vie. Le courage des femmes outragées par les guerres interminables y révèle la détermination de surmonter les décennies d'horreur. Un récit à l'image des Congolaises, rempli de leur folle énergie et ode à l'éternelle maternité de l'Afrique. Un grand récit suivi d'entretiens avec Isidore Ndaywel, Maddy Tiembe et Freddy Tsimba.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kinshasa is sub-Saharan Africa‘s second largest city. The seven million Congolese who live there have a rich reputation for the courageous and innovative ways in which they survive in a harsh urban environment. They have created new social institutions, practices, networks and ways of living to deal with the collapse of public provision and a malfunctioning political system. This book describes how ordinary people, in the absence of formal sector jobs, hustle for a modest living; the famous ‘bargaining‘ system ordinary Kinois have developed; and how they access food, water supplies, health and education. The NGO-ization of service provision is analysed, as is the quite rare incidence of urban riots. The contributors also look at popular discourses, including street rumor, witchcraft, and attitudes to ‘big men‘ such as musicians and preachers. This is urban sociology at its best - richly empirical, unjargonized, descriptive of the lives of ordinary people, and weaving into its analysis how they see and experience life.

Book excerpt: "L'histoire mouvementée du Congo-Kinshasa a causé des milliers de victimes depuis la colonisation belge. D'outils de production sous la colonisation, les Congolais sont devenus les sujets d'une dictature néocolonialiste qui a dévasté tant le pays que les esprits. Les colonisateurs ont leur part de responsabilité, mais aussi les élites de l'indépendance et celle d'après la Conférence Nationale Souveraine. Voici l'histoire des 100 dernières années du Congo-Kinshasa."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping historical novel and an intergenerational family saga about the mysterious disappearance of a Congolese princess and the niece who is determined to uncover her fate more than four decades later, by the internationally acclaimed and award-winning Congolese Canadian author Blaise Ndala. April 1958. Princess Tshala Nyota, daughter of King Kena Kwete III of the Kuba people in Congo, is among the eleven “villagers” put on display at the 1958 World’s Fair in Brussels. After the humiliation of the Nazi occupation, the royal palace is determined to restore the Belgian colonial empire’s honor and prestige by showcasing the successful “civilization” of Congo, Belgium’s “model colony,” at one of the biggest international events since the end of the Second World War. The young princess recounts her journey from her home of Kasaï to a Catholic school run by nuns, where she meets and falls madly in love with a handsome Belgian administrator. But when her father discovers the affair, his fury cannot be contained. Fearing for her life and his own, Tshala’s lover sends her to Léopoldville to stay with his friend, a collector and dealer specializing in African art. In the capital, she is immersed in a world pulsing with youth, sex, energy, and hope for the new independent republic. But when Tshala is betrayed by her lover’s friend, she is sent to Brussels and her forced exhibition at Expo ’58. Soon after, she mysteriously disappears. August 2003. Nyota Kwete, the princess’s niece, is sent to Brussels to continue her education at the university. Before she departs, her father charges her with the task of discovering the fate of the missing princess. In Brussels, she is welcomed by the Congolese diaspora community and crosses paths with a Belgian scholar who is haunted by his own ghosts. Together, they uncover important secrets that were taken to the grave. In this internationally acclaimed and award-winning novel, Congolese Canadian author Blaise Ndala examines Belgium and Congo’s colonial past and current legacy through the lives of two unforgettable women, connected by family and history across continents and decades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the Democratic Republic of Congo has been at the centre of the deadliest series of conflicts since the Second World War, and now hosts the largest United Nations peacekeeping mission in the world. In this compelling book, acclaimed journalist Michael Deibert paints a picture of a nation in flux, inching towards peace but at the same time solidifying into another era of authoritarian rule under its enigmatic president, Joseph Kabila. Featuring a wealth of first-hand interviews and secondary sources, the narrative travels from war-torn villages in the country's east to the chaotic, pulsing capital of Kinshasa in order to bring us the voices of the Congolese - from impoverished gold prospectors and market women to government officials - as it explores the complicated political, ethnic and economic geography of this tattered land. A must-read for anyone interested in contemporary Africa, The Democratic Republic of Congo: Between, Hope and Despair sheds new light on this sprawling and often misunderstood country that has become iconic both for its great potential and dashed hopes.
