Bouwer draws on literary criticism, a thorough grounding in the
historical literature, and her own interviews with one of Lumumba's
wives in her efforts to use gender as a means of understanding
Lumumba's life and legacy. Her book is an exemplary example of
interdisciplinary scholarship and provides a model for scholars
seeking to weave literary and historical methods together. This
outstanding work deserves a wide audience of scholars. Essential. -
CHOICE 'Although a significant amount of writing exists on the
history of Congo's decolonization, almost all of it focuses on the
political process. With this book, Karen Bouwer adds a much needed
gender perspective to this body of work. Gender and Decolonization
in the Congo is both a book about women and one that seeks to
employ a gender analysis to understand Patrice Lumumba's writings
and his life's legacy. In all, this book makes a significant
contribution to the scholarship on Congo's decolonization from an
understudied perspective, and demonstrates how political legacies
are shaped.'
