Download or read book Introduction to Congo written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Democratic Republic of Congo, commonly known as Congo, is a central African country that is rich in natural resources such as coal, cobalt, and copper. It is a country that has been ravaged by colonialism, civil wars, and resource exploitation. It is home to over 80 million people, and despite being one of the most resource-rich countries in the world, the majority of the population lives in poverty. Congo is the second-largest country in Africa, and it shares borders with nine other African countries. Its history is complex, and it has seen colonization by the Belgians, which lasted for over 75 years, and multiple civil wars that have resulted in the loss of millions of lives. Today, the country is still struggling with political instability, corruption, and a struggling economy. However, it has also seen some progress in recent years, with peaceful transitions of power and a growing economy. The challenges in Congo are numerous, but there is also hope that the country can overcome them and fulfill its potential.

Download or read book Manners Make a Nation written by Allison Kim Shutt and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2015 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of how people struggled to define, reform, and overturn racial etiquette as a social guide for Southern Rhodesian politics. Underlying what appears to be a static history of racial etiquette is a dynamic narrative of anxieties over racial, gender, and generational status. From the outlawing of "insolence" toward officials to a last-ditch "courtesy campaign" in the early 1960s, white elites believed that their nimble use of racial etiquette would contain Africans' desire for social and political change. In turn, Africans mobilized around stories of racial humiliation. Allison Shutt's research provides a microhistory of the changing discourse about manners and respectability in Southern Rhodesia that by the 1950s had become central to fiercely contested political positions and nationalist tactics. Intense debates among Africans and whites alike over the deployment of courtesy and rudeness reveal the social-emotional tensions that contributed to political mobilization on the part of nationalists and the narrowing of options for the course of white politics. Drawing on public records, legal documents, and firsthand accounts, this first book-length history of manners in twentieth-century colonial Africa provides a compelling new model for understanding politics and culture through the prism of etiquette. Allison K. Shutt is professor of history at Hendrix College.

Download or read book Culture and Customs of the Congo written by Tshilemalema Mukenge and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly Zaire, continues to struggle with socioeconomic and political development. Culture and Customs of the Congo provides the full context of traditional culture and modern practices against a backdrop of a turbulent history. The volume opens up a land and peoples little known in the United States. Written expressly to meet the needs of students and the general audience, the work will inform about the geography, economy, political history, and history from the slave trade to dictatorship; ancestral religions and inroads of western faiths; ancestral literary heritage and communication; art, architecture, and housing; diet and dress; marriage, family, and women; lifestyles and life events, and traditional and modern music and dance. Congolese society comprises hundreds of ethnic groups, such as the Luba, the Kongo, and the Kuba. The countryside is largely based on the hunting and gathering, herding, and farming lifestyles. The city is marked by lifestyles reflecting the prevalence of small business activities and increasing cultural sycretism of customs from different parts of the Congo and Western imports. Mukenge's narrative gives the diverse perspectives of their cultures with their fascinating juxtapositions to our familiar western ways. Examples of this are found in the Religion and Worldview chapter, which discusses ancestral religions, the spirits of the land, and supernatural power practitioners. The Literature chapter covers verbal competition and game songs. Congolese cuisine is based on starches such as the cassava root, the corn, and the plantain; green vegetables, insects, fish and, to a lesser extent, meat. Other chapters cover topics from the distinct Congolese dress and symbolic adornments, all-important family lines, to ceremonial music and dance. A chronology and glossary are added value.
