Book Synopsis Reinventing Order in the Congo by : Theodore Trefon
Download or read book Reinventing Order in the Congo written by Theodore Trefon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-02-29 with total page 235 pages. 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 Synopsis Le Congo-Kinshasa by : Jean-Jacques Arthur Malu-Malu
Download or read book Le Congo-Kinshasa written by Jean-Jacques Arthur Malu-Malu and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Située en plein cœur du continent africain, à cheval sur l'équateur, le Congo-Kinshasa, officiellement République démocratique du Congo (RDC), est un pays immense particulièrement gâté par la nature. Son sous-sol est l'un des plus riches au monde ; la fertilité de ses terres et la variété de ses climats favorisent l'agriculture. Pourtant, ce " géant aux pieds d'argile " abrite, paradoxalement, une population en majeure partie démunie. La RDC est un pays d'une extrême complexité qui tient à son histoire tumultueuse, faite de guerres, de rébellions, de récessions, d'exécutions, de faillites économiques... Dès le XVe siècle, les Portugais ont établi des liens avec le royaume du Congo pour négocier or, ivoire, cuivre et esclaves. Ce n'est qu'au XIXe siècle que la Belgique, sous la houlette du roi Léopold II, l'emporte sur les autres nations européennes lancées dans la course coloniale et établit le Congo belge. La difficile marche vers l'indépendance est également émaillée de révoltes et de violences. L'histoire de la Première République est écrite en lettres de sang. Notamment le sang de Patrice Lumumba, le Premier ministre assassiné avec la bénédiction de la Belgique en 1961. La Deuxième République mise en place par Mobutu en 1965 est une dictature qui conduit le Zaïre à la faillite. Le 17 mai 1997, Mobutu est renversé par Laurent Désiré Kabila. Le Zaïre redevient Congo. Kabila connaît une fin tragique en janvier 2001. Son fils, Joseph Kabila, lui succède. La RDC bascule à nouveau dans la guerre en août 1998. Une guerre qui appose, sur le sol congolais, les troupes gouvernementales épaulées par des forces étrangères à des mouvements rebelles soutenus par des armées des pays voisins. Pourtant, le Congo-Kinshasa est attachant par sa richesse culturelle (musique, statuaire, peinture moderne...), par la diversité de ses peuples, l'immensité de ses paysages d'eau, de forêts et de montagne.
Book Synopsis Letters from Kinshasa by : Milly Guildford
Download or read book Letters from Kinshasa written by Milly Guildford and published by Partridge Africa. This book was released on 2014-11-26 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milly Guildford, recently divorced, takes a job in the Congo, working to bring good governance to a system riddled with corruption and mismanagement. She soon finds that life in Kinshasa is never straightforward. Coming face-to-face with the Congos bizarre bureaucracy, which seems to have grown even more powerful through the years of anarchy, she collaborates with a longtime friend, a married man who lives in London, to write a book about it. Collecting material for the book entails copying secret documents, a dangerous activity. It gives her friend an excuse to come to Kinshasa, which he does for much longer than is strictly necessary. Both the book and the man bring Milly more than her fair share of problems. Interwoven with this are accounts of her travels in the country, her bizarre social life, and her efforts to understand how things are done in Kinshasa.

Download or read book Breaking Rocks written by Joe Trapido and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on fieldwork in Kinshasa and Paris, Breaking Rocks examines patronage payments within Congolese popular music, where a love song dedication can cost 6,000 dollars and a simple name check can trade for 500 or 600 dollars. Tracing this system of prestige through networks of musicians and patrons – who include gangsters based in Europe, kleptocratic politicians in Congo, and lawless diamond dealers in northern Angola – this book offers insights into ideologies of power and value in central Africa’s troubled post-colonial political economy, as well as a glimpse into the economic flows that make up the hidden side of the globalization.

Download or read book Congo Inc. written by In Koli Jean Bofane and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the sound of machine gun fire and the smell of burning flesh, award-winning author In Koli Jean Bofane leads readers on a perilous, satirical journey through the civil conflict and political instability that have been the logical outcome of generations of rapacious multinational corporate activity, corrupt governance, widespread civil conflict, human rights abuses, and environmental degradation in Africa. Isookanga, a Congolese Pygmy, grows up in a small village with big dreams of becoming rich. His vision of the world is shaped by his exploits in Raging Trade, an online game where he seizes control of the world's natural resources by any means possible: high-tech weaponry, slavery, and even genocide. Isookanga leaves his sleepy village to make his fortune in the pulsating capital Kinshasa, where he joins forces with street children, warlords, and a Chinese victim of globalization in this blistering novel about capitalism, colonialism, and the world haunted by the ghosts of Bismarck and Leopold II. Told with just enough levity to make it truly heartbreaking, Congo Inc. is a searing tale about ecological, political, and economic failure.

Download or read book Bonobo Handshake written by Vanessa Woods and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young woman follows her fiancé to war-torn Congo to study extremely endangered bonobo apes-who teach her a new truth about love and belonging. In 2005, Vanessa Woods accepted a marriage proposal from a man she barely knew and agreed to join him on a research trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country reeling from a brutal decade-long war that had claimed the lives of millions. Settling in at a bonobo sanctuary in Congo's capital, Vanessa and her fiancé entered the world of a rare ape with whom we share 98.7 percent of our DNA. She soon discovered that many of the inhabitants of the sanctuary-ape and human alike-are refugees from unspeakable violence, yet bonobos live in a peaceful society in which females are in charge, war is nonexistent, and sex is as common and friendly as a handshake. A fascinating memoir of hope and adventure, Bonobo Handshake traces Vanessa's self-discovery as she finds herself falling deeply in love with her husband, the apes, and her new surroundings while probing life's greatest question: What ultimately makes us human? Courageous and extraordinary, this true story of revelation and transformation in a fragile corner of Africa is about looking past the differences between animals and ourselves, and finding in them the same extraordinary courage and will to survive. For Vanessa, it is about finding her own path as a writer and scientist, falling in love, and finding a home. Watch a Video
