Death in the Congo: Murdering Patrice Lumumba
ISBN: 9780674725270 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Death in the Congo is a gripping account of a murder that became one of the defining events in postcolonial African history. It is no less the story of the untimely death of a national dream, a hope-filled vision very different from what the war-ravaged Democratic Republic of the Congo became in the second half of the twentieth century. When Belgium relinquished colonial control in June 1960, a charismatic thirty-five-year-old African nationalist, Patrice Lumumba, became prime minister of the new republic. Yet stability immediately broke down. A mutinous Congolese Army spread... Death in the Congo is a gripping account of a murder that became one of the defining events in postcolonial African history.

Against a disturbing political backdrop and through an in-depth appraisal of selected illustrative texts from major genres--poetry, prose, and drama--Emmanuel Fru Doh presents the origins and growth of a young but potent literature.
