Originally published in 1987, this book used data from Kisangani,
Upper Zaire and North Kivu to demonstrate the emergence of an
indigenous bourgeoisie of local capitalists without political
position. These entrepreneurs invested in productive enterprise for
the local market, managed and expanded their business in rational
capitalist fashion, and were reproducing themselves as a class. The
text discusses how the spiralling economic crisis in Zaire resulted
in a severe decline in the administrative capacity of the state,
but also opened up opportunities for social mobility. Reliance on
anthropological methods of intensive fieldwork, personal contacts
and collection of case histories created the basis for this study,
forming an ethnography of local class formation and struggle.
