Book excerpt: Congo. Ambitions et désenchantements est un livre consacré au déroulement d’une étape, à la fois courte et décisive, dans le long passé de cette région. Au point de départ, les années 1880. Elles virent la concrétisation de vieux rêves de découpage de l’Afrique en grands ensembles transcontinentaux. Rien n’annonçait toutefois que le fleuve Congo devienne un marqueur géopolitique. Ce coup de crayon sur la carte porte la griffe de Léopold II, personnalité hors normes, grand rêveur et maître-manoeuvrier au sein de différents mondes, ceux de la diplomatie, du capital et des « affaires », mais qui fut aussi porté par les grandes inspirations de l’époque, le mouvement scientifique, le réveil chrétien, la vague antiesclavagiste tout comme par les recompositions alors en cours en Afrique même. Sans lui, il n’y aurait eu ni « Congo belge », ni page congolaise dans l’histoire de Belgique. Le livre rassemble un bouquet d’essais et de questions. Quels furent les grands seuils de la période ? Quelles ambitions économiques, technocratiques, scientifiques, morales, mais aussi quels itinéraires, plus humbles ? Quelle place de la région sur l’échiquier mondial des puissances et du mouvement des idées ? Quid de l’insubmersible Afrique, de son économie de production et de trafics, mais aussi de sa pauvreté ? Quid de sa vie spirituelle toujours renouvelée mais jamais contrôlée, de sa vie artistique, elle aussi toujours novatrice ? Autant de coups de projecteur portés sur trois générations, avec d’occasionnelles excursions dans leurs passés et dans les représentations portées par le présent. En 1960, au sortir de l’épisode colonial, une semaine d’indépendance confirma que le « Congo belge » avait été conquis mais non soumis. On ne trouvera ici ni complaisances ni ressentiments, mais le sillage d’une génération d’historiens dont l’engagement fut d’inscrire le passé de l’Afrique dans les grands chapitres de l’histoire universelle. De nouveaux chantiers s’ouvrent désormais, ceux des sensibilités, des mémoires. Le défi reste de repérer les ruptures, mais aussi le long fil des généalogies qui, en Afrique comme ailleurs, relient le présent au passé.

This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion in today’s Democratic Republic of Congo has many faces: from the overflowing seminaries and Marian shrines of the Catholic Church to the Islamic brotherhoods, from the healers of Kimban-guism to the televangelism of the booming Pentecostalist churches in the great cities, from the Orthodox communities of Kasai to the ‘invisible’ Mai Mai warriors in the brousse of Kivu. During the colonial period religion was no less central to people’s lives than it is today. More surprisingly, behind the seemingly smooth facade of missions linked closely to imperial power, faith and worship were already marked by diversity and dynamism, tying the Congo into broader African and global movements. The contributions in this book provide insight into the multifaceted history of the interaction between religion and colonization. The authors outline the institutional political framework, and focus on the challenge that old and new forms of slavery entailed for the missions. The atrocities committed at the time of the Congo Free State became an existential question for young Christian communities. In the Belgian Congo after 1908, more structural forms of colonial violence remained a key issue marking religious experiences. And yet, religion also acted as a bridge. The authors emphasize the role intermediaries such as catechists or medical assistants played in the African “appropriation” of Christianity. They examine the complex interaction with indigenous religious beliefs and practices, and zoom in on the part religions played in the independence movement, as well as on their reaction to independence itself. Coming at a moment when Belgium confronts its colonial past, this volume provides a timely reassessment of religion as a key factor.
