Abstract

Dans ce livre pluridisciplinaire, de nombreux chercheurs retracent l’Histoire de la région andennaise depuis 440 millions d’années jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Les géologues y décrivent la formation des roches, des minerais et des minéraux, les ressources en eaux souterraines ainsi que leurs modes d’extraction et de transformation respectifs. Archéologues, historiens et naturalistes intègrent la place de l’Homme et le rôle des pouvoirs religieux ou laïcs dans la maîtrise des ressources minérales du territoire en écho à la marche de l’histoire et aux particularismes andennais. Enfin, le Musée de la céramique, la grotte Scladina et la réserve naturelle de Sclaigneaux sont des balises, des passeurs de mémoire valorisant les liens intimes tissés à travers le temps entre les richesses naturelles minérales et l’Homme.

Abstract

This book traces the story of the Congo from the unleashing of King Leopard's fury across the region in the 19th century, to the Western sponsored murder of Patrice Lumumba in 1961 to the war that has ravaged the country since 1997. It is an immensely readable and radical introduction to the Congo that pays attention to the importance of economic production for social organization throughout the country's recent history. It also argues that the nature of global capitalism, far from always leading to modernization, can in fact mean the expansion of private capital accompanied by social collapse. As for the future, the hope is that another politics will emerge from the resistance of ordinary Congolese to imperialist slaughter and the post-independence Mobutu dictatorship.
