Patrice Lumumba's legacy continues to fire the imagination of
politicians, activists, and artists. But women have been missing
from accounts of the Congo's decolonization. What new ideals of
masculinity and femininity were generated in this struggle? Were
masculinist biases re-inscribed in later depictions of the martyred
nationalist? Through analysis of Lumumba's writings and speeches,
the life stories of women activists, and literary and cinematic
works, "Gender and Decolonization in the Congo: The Legacy of
Patrice Lumumba" challenges male-centered interpretations of
Congolese nationalism and illustrates how generic conventions both
reinforced and undercut gender bias in representations of Lumumba
and his female contemporaries.
