Avisuality and Colonialism in the Congo Visuality and Colonialism in the Congo: From the ‘Arab War’ to Patrice Lumumba, 1880s to 1961 by Isabelle M. de Rezende A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Nancy Rose Hunt, Chair Professor Adam P. Ashforth Professor Geoff Eley Professor Patricia Hayes, University of the Western Cape Acknowledgments This dissertation took some years and a few turns to come together. Some of it has always been in my mind. But for the most part, it is the result of an extraordinary learning process, which began at the University of Michigan in September 2004, and continued in Mozambique, in Belgium, and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Many people and institutions made this dissertation a possibility, and its completion a reality. First, to my dissertation committee: hearfelt thanks for the support and for helping me take those last steps. My thanks go in the first place to Nancy Rose Hunt, with whom I have worked since my arrival at Michigan, and who taught me such a great deal about African history, about the Congo, and about writing. I am grateful for her dedication and mentorship. I met Patricia Hayes in the fall of 2005 at the University of Michigan; since then I have been fortunate to benefit from her generosity, vast knowledge, and subtle mind. Geoff Eley has also been a great mentor and teacher. I have been fortunate to benefit and learn not only from the depth and breadth of his scholarship, but also from the ways he always seeks connections: across fields and across disciplines. Many thanks to Adam Ashforth for reading and agreeing to join my committee at the eleventh hour, and also for his ideas, and bringing forward intellectual possibilities and connections that I had not previously glimpsed. ii I would like to thank my professors in the University of Michigan’s department of history. Helmut Puff has been a precise, invaluable reader, pushing me always toward clarity and to think in new ways. Many thanks also to Gabrielle Hecht, David William Cohen, Derek Peterson, and Mamadou Diouf; as well as Sumathi Ramaswamy, Scott Spector, Valerie Kivelson, and Rudolf Mrázek. Zeynep Gürsel has been extraordinarily kind and generous with close readings of chapters, challenging comments and questions, and with always great, spot-on, advice in all matters of academic life. Many thanks to Bogumil Jewsiewicki; to Lynn Thomas for her thoughtful feedback; and to Lorena Rizzo. In the history department also: thanks must go to Kathleen King, Lorna Alstetter, and Diana Denney for their help and endless patience in all administrative matters. I received generous institutional support to carry out research in Europe, Africa, and in the United States. The Department of History at the University of Michigan, the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies, the Center for African and African-American Studies at the University of Michigan (now the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies), and the Rackham Graduate School of the University of Michigan have funded research and travel at various times since 2004. My research in Belgium and the Democratic Republic of Congo, in 2007, 2008, and 2009 was made possible by an International Dissertation Research Fellowship from the Social Science Research Council (IDRF-SSRC), a student grant from the U.S. State Department’s Fulbright program, and by a fellowship from the Belgian-American Educational Foundation (BAEF). In the Democratic Republic of Congo a great number of people were key to my success and well-being. I would like to thank Professor Jacob Sabakinu Kivilu of the University of Kinshasa’s history department for his help, support, great suggestions and iii knowledge of Congolese history and politics; to Professor Mutamba Makombo also at the University of Kinshasa, for sharing his knowledge of Congolese and Kasai history with me; to Charlotte Olela Ngombe for her invaluable assistance with research and translation, as well as to Claude-George Tshund’Olela. In Kinshasa, my friend, Emery Kalema Masua, whose dedication and fortitude I will always admire, looked after me in the tentacular city, getting me from points a to b and back again. I bear him a great debt of gratitude. Many thanks also to Mama Pauline Betu and all the staff at the University of Kinshasa’s guesthouse. Jean-Michel Kibushi was instrumental to the realization of my dissertation project, and I thank him for making fieldwork in Sankuru a reality. Huge thanks to the incredible Papa Rudolphe Lonyembo, aka l’Inspecteur, for teaching me so much about Sankuru history, traditions, and lore. Madame Agnès Dihandjo Lonyembo, helped make my travels more pleasant and comfortable. Catherine Lion became a good friend during my time in Sankuru, whose great questions pushed my thinking and revived my enthusiasm at difficult moments. Thanks also go to Papa Gaston Kepoke and Maman Hélène Sheka; Charles-Dieudonné Lobandji and Madame Nongo; Antoine Roger Dimandja; Michel Ngandu; Serge Songa Songa, and to many, many, people in the Congo, who generously took time to meet and talk with me. A day or two after I defended this dissertation, the inimitable Luc de Heusch, structuralist anthropologist, filmmaker, trouble-maker, wit, and art aficionado passed away. I was fortunate to have spoken with him in 2006; to him, posthumously, my many thanks. In Belgium, in the DRC, and elsewhere, I would like to thank Johan Lagae; Katrien Pype; Guido Convents; Daniel Tödt; Bram Cleys and Katrien Timmermann. At iv the Royal Museum for Central Africa, I would like to thank Philippe Marechal, Sabine Cornelis, Hein Vanhee, Jean Tshonda Omasombo, Maarten Couttenier, and Lucienne Di Mauro. Some of the most wonderful and smartest people I have known have been my colleagues and friends at the University of Michigan. A huge thanks to Pedro Monaville; I could not have asked for a better colleague and a better friend. To Anneeth Kaur Hundle, Dan Birchok and Lori Roddi for their great company, kindness and support in this last year; to the whole African history/anthropology crew: Stephen Sparks and Nafisa Essop Sheik, Shana Melnysyn, Tasha Rijke-Epstein, Monica Patterson, and Brady G’Sell. I miss you all! Thanks also to Lakisha Simmons and Tandiwe Aebi-Moyo; Laura Hilburn and Stephen Smith; Lenny Ureña, You-Sun Crystal Chung; Jeffrey Lloyd: all of your friendships mean a great deal. Many, many, thanks to the amazing and generous Sara McClean and Nicol Partida, who stepped in, the summer in of 2008, to take care of my family when it was needed and I was in the Congo. Many friends outside of my academic world made life easier and were critical to my sanity: Sarai Brachman Shoup for the great company, always interesting conversations, and the enormous practical and logistical help; Brent Stansfield, Stephanie Preston (and the little ladies of course) for their friendship and warm hospitality. Huge thanks to Elizabeth Westley for coming to my defense and making it feel more special and festive. In California, I would like to thank my friends, the way awesome Mariana Corzo and Carolyn Clark, for so much help, love and support. Alison Moncrieff also has my eternal gratitude, as does Cathy Deikman. v To my dear friend, Béatrice Hacquard (née Talmon), thank you for taking the time to translate large portions of nineteenth-century German gothic script, over skype, in the middle of the night. To Sophie Theven, Kelly McGowan, Lili Tan, Namrata Sharma, Kevin Kan, Jane Robinsen, Kimberley Urbano, Hariko and Ralph Hicken, Kazumi Tshuchiya, Yumi Ikeda, and especially to President Daisaku Ikeda, and huge thanks for the compassion and wisdom. To my family, thank you for the love and the immense support through many years. Carol Camlin has seen me through it all. I cannot thank her enough for the unconditional support and unwavering faith, not to mention all the logistical help I always seem to need. I am grateful for her love and for bringing Cecilia to this world. Their patience has been nothing short of saintly. vi Table of Contents Acknowledgments ii List of Figures viii Introduction 1 Chapter One Part I: The Eyes of Ngongo Leteta 47 Part II: Violence and Visuality 75 Counterpoint 129 Memory, History and Visuality in 2008 Chapter Two 132 Visual Subjects of Tradition, ca. 1908-40 Chapter Three 214 Development, Biopolitics, and Everyday Life in Sankuru Mission Photographs Chapter Four 289 Colonialism’s Farewell Party: Luc de Heusch’s Fête chez les Hamba Counterpoint 333 “Lieux de Mémoire” Chapter Five 342 History as Spectacle: Patrice Lumumba, 1951-61 Conclusion 405 Bibliography 416 vii List of Figures Figure 1: "Slave Trade Map of Equatorial Africa,” Kiunangi: or, Story and History from Central Africa (London, UK: George Bell and Sons, 1887), NYPL.

    Who Put Kurtz on the Congo? Harry White, Irving L. Finston Conradiana, Volume 42, Number 1-2, Spring/Summer 2010, pp. 81-92 (Article) Published by Texas Tech University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/cnd.2010.0010 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/452495 Access provided at 9 Oct 2019 05:10 GMT from USP-Universidade de São Paulo Who Put Kurtz on the Congo? HARRYWHITEANDIRVINGL.FINSTON Our article included in this issue, “The Two River Narratives in ‘Heart of Darkness,’” showed that Joseph Conrad imagined Kurtz’s Inner Station to be located on the Kasai River and not on the Congo as has been gener- ally assumed. We now ask how one of the most important, influential, and widely read and studied works of modern fiction has been so con- sistently and unquestioningly misread for so long on such a basic level. In what follows we show that something akin to a cover-up was initi- ated by the author regarding the location and direction of Charlie Mar- low’s voyage. We will then reveal the primary source for many of the current interpretations and misinterpretations of “Heart of Darkness” by showing how one very influential scholar was the first to place Kurtz’s station on the wrong river. Nowhere in any of his writings did Conrad report that Marlow’s venture into the heart of darkness followed his own voyage from Stan- ley Pool to Stanley Falls. Nowhere in “Heart of Darkness” does it say that Marlow voyages up the Congo to find Kurtz.

  • The Botanical Exploration of Angola by Germans During the 19Th and 20Th Centuries, with Biographical Sketches and Notes on Collections and Herbaria
    Blumea 65, 2020: 126–161 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea RESEARCH ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3767/blumea.2020.65.02.06 The botanical exploration of Angola by Germans during the 19th and 20th centuries, with biographical sketches and notes on collections and herbaria E. Figueiredo1, *, G.F. Smith1, S. Dressler 2 Key words Abstract A catalogue of 29 German individuals who were active in the botanical exploration of Angola during the 19th and 20th centuries is presented. One of these is likely of Swiss nationality but with significant links to German Angola settlers in Angola. The catalogue includes information on the places of collecting activity, dates on which locations botanical exploration were visited, the whereabouts of preserved exsiccata, maps with itineraries, and biographical information on the German explorers collectors. Initial botanical exploration in Angola by Germans was linked to efforts to establish and expand Germany’s plant collections colonies in Africa. Later exploration followed after some Germans had settled in the country. However, Angola was never under German control. The most intense period of German collecting activity in this south-tropical African country took place from the early-1870s to 1900. Twenty-four Germans collected plant specimens in Angola for deposition in herbaria in continental Europe, mostly in Germany. Five other naturalists or explorers were active in Angola but collections have not been located under their names or were made by someone else. A further three col- lectors, who are sometimes cited as having collected material in Angola but did not do so, are also briefly discussed. Citation: Figueiredo E, Smith GF, Dressler S.

His expedition had taken much more time than expected due to illness, accidents, forested terrain and the continuing resistance of his so-called “Banian slaves” (a group of liberated Zanzibari slaves who had been hired to assist him). Running out of provisions, he spent almost four months in Nyangwe negotiating for a canoe in order to continue his travels downstream the Lualaba. On the 15th and 16th of July, however, Livingstone witnessed a horrifying massacre of men and women who had come to the Nyangwe regional market and were slaughtered by slave and ivory traders and their armed auxiliaries. Livingstone was so shocked by these events that he aborted his further travel plans and returned to his operating base at Ujiji near Lake Tanganyika, where, in the weeks after his arrival, he famously met Henry Morton Stanley, who had been sent by the New York Herald to look for the lost British explorer. The meeting of these two men, and Stanley’s iconic “Dr. Livingstone, I presume,” came to resonate widely in the imperial imagination.

Those policies culminated in the formation of the first East African Community (EAC I) in 1967 between Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The EAC was built on a foundation of integrative polices started by Britain and Germany, who began formal colonization in 1885 as a result of the General Act of the Berlin Conference during the Scramble for Africa. While early colonial polices did foster greater integration, they were limited in important ways. Early colonial integration was bi-lateral in nature and facilitated European monopolies. Early colonial policies did not foster broad economic integration between East Africa’s neighbors or the wider world economy.
