Erik Kennes and Miles Larmer provide a history of the Katangese
gendarmes and their largely undocumented role in many of the most
important political and military conflicts in Central Africa.
Katanga, located in today's Democratic Republic of Congo, seceded
in 1960 as Congo achieved independence and the gendarmes fought as
the unrecognized state's army during the Congo crisis. Kennes and
Larmer explain how the ex-gendarmes, then exiled in Angola,
struggled to maintain their national identity and return "home."
They take readers through the complex history of the Katangese and
their engagement in regional conflicts and Africa's Cold War.
Kennes and Larmer show how the paths not taken at Africa's
independence persist in contemporary political and military
movements and bring new understandings to the challenges that
personal and collective identities pose to the relationship between
African nation-states and their citizens and subjects.
