Beschreibung

Understanding the current civil war in the Congo requires an examination of how the Congo's identity has been imagined over time. Imagining the Congo historicizes and contextualizes the constructions of the Congo's identity in order to analyze the political implications of that identity, looking in detail at four historical periods in which the identity of the Congo was contested, with numerous forces attempting to produce and attach meanings to its territory and people. Dunn looks specifically at how what he calls 'imaginings' of the Congo have allowed the current state of affairs there to develop, but he also looks at the broader conceptual question of how the concept of identity has developed and become important in recent international relations scholarship.

Zusammenfassung

Kevin is seen as one of the promising young Africanists. This is his first book

While there are numerous books about Congo history, this is the first book about national identity in Congo

The book manages to be both theoretically savvy (it will be of interest to both general IR people interested in Constructivism and by Africanists) and also approachable. It will be suitable for both undergraduate and graduate level courses
