, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 379 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:12 b/w, 3 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503610238.
A new look at the Congo's colonial history Summary Colonialism tends to arouse emotional debate, often based on incomplete knowledge of the facts and context. Colonial Congo fills this gap by introducing the general reader to the latest academic thinking and research. Answering concrete questions, pre-eminent historians offer a unique insight into the history of the Congo Free State and the Belgian Congo. How did Leopold II?s autocratic government function and what do we know about the victims of his rule? How much profit was made in the Congo and who benefitted the most? What was life like for Congolese men and women during colonial rule and how did they feel about it? Did the Congolese offer resistance, and in what ways? What was colonialism?s impact on Congo?s natural world? How did colonial policy affect infrastructure, education, healthcare and science? Did missionaries give colonialism a more human face? Colonial Congo?s explorations of these issues and more are revealed in this eye-opening, indispensable guide.
CONGO AS FICTION : Art Worlds Between Past and Present.
, Scheidegger (ACC), 2020 HB, 279 x 228 mm, 328 pages, ENG edition, ISBN 9783858818355.
Investigates comprehensively how Congolese artists have been exploring and reflecting upon the effects of globalised trade, colonialism, proselytisation, and virtual boundaries Features many previously unpublished works by Congolese artists both contemporary and the 19th and early 20th centuries Congo's vibrant art scene attracts great worldwide interest A single Congo does not exist - or is in any case fictitious. Yet the Democratic Republic of Congo has an extraordinarily vibrant art scene that attracts great interest from around the world. Nowhere else in Africa art production is as manifold in form, media, and materials used. For many years, Congolese artists have been exploring and reflecting upon the effects of globalised trade, colonialism, proselytisation, and virtual boundaries. As the works of artists such as Sammy Baloji or Sinzo Aanza demonstrate, these effects never before were more topical than today. For the first time, this book, which is published in conjunction with an exhibition at Zurich's Museum Rietberg, features objects and photographs collected by the German anthropologist Hans Himmelheber during his journey to the Congo in 1938-39. The coloured masks, imposing figures, and richly decorated everyday objects bear witness to the period's extraordinary creativity and innovativeness as well as of the collector's own idea of Congo. They are juxtaposed with works by contemporary Congolese artists and complemented by essays that investigate the fiction of Congo both as an African and Western World imagination. Thus, the book links the past with the utopia of contemporary artistic production in central Africa. Published to accompany the exhibition Congo as Fiction: Art Worlds Between Past and Present at Museum Rietberg, Zurich, between 22 November 2019 and 15 March 2020.
Congo 1885-1960 : een financieel economische geschiedenis

Frans Buelens is onderzoeker op het Studiecentrum voor Onderneming en Beurs van de Universiteit Antwerpen, en professor aan het HIVT. Hij publiceerde in tijdschriften zoals her European Journal of Economic History, het Hitotsubashi Journal of Economics. Intereconomics, Applied Financial Economics, Explorations in Economic History. Hij was editor van het boek Globalisation and the Nation State (1999) en auteur van het boek Financieel-institutionele analyse van de Belgische beursgenoteerde spoorwegsector 1836-1957 (2004). Congo 1885-1960 Een financieel-economische geschiedenis Frans Buelens De klemtoon van deze omvattende financieel-economische geschiedenis van koloniaal Congo ligt op de toen in Congo gevestigde bedrijven. Het is een netwerkanalyse van in elkaar hakende bedrijven, met als stuwende fac¬tor de grote Belgische financiële groepen, holdings en trusts. Namen als klokken: Union Minière, Kilo-Moto, Société Générale, Cotonco. Société d'Anvers... De ontrafeling van deze netwerkstruccuren mondt uit in een globale berekening van de winstvoet van de Belgisch-Congolese bedrijven, zowel gemeten met boekhoudkundige data als met behulp van beursdata. Het resultaat is verbluffend. Deze bedrijven haalden in de koloniale periode een winstvoet die tot de allerhoogste ter wereld moet gerekend worden. De rendementen op de beurs bleven niet achter. Het koloniale imperium maakte België tot een van de machtigste grondstoffenleveranciers van de wereld. Daarmee vult het boek een belangrijke lacune van het wetenschappelijke onderzoek naar de geschiedenis van Congo. Het werk van Pierre Joye en Rosine Lewin, Les trusts au Congo (1961) en dat van Jean Stengers krijgt hiermee een uitdieping. De auteur analyseert ook de globale institutionele omkadering van de kolonisatie.Tegelijk zoomt hij in op de belangrijke koloniale figuren met politieke en economische topverantwoordelijkheden. Hij schildert hoe nauw deze hoofdrolspelers met elkaar verbonden waren: Allard, Nagelmackers.Jadot. de Goffinets, Empain, Lippens,Van Thillo, de Hemptinne, Guggenheim, Ryan, Lord Leverhulme... Her is een high society waarin zonder schroom verkondigd werd dat de koloniale exploitatie moest dienen voor de eer en glorie van het 'moederland'.
