There are so many roadblocks in Central Africa that it is hard to
find a road that does not have one. Based on research in the
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Central African Republic
(CAR), Peer Schouten maps more than a thousand of these roadblocks
to show how communities, rebels and state security forces forge
resistance and power out of control over these narrow points of
passage. Schouten reveals the connections between these roadblocks
in Central Africa and global supply chains, tracking the flow of
multinational corporations and UN agencies alike through them, to
show how they encapsulate a form of power, which thrives under
conditions of supply chain capitalism. In doing so, he develops a
new lens through which to understand what drives state formation
and conflict in the region, offering a radical alternative to
explanations that foreground control over minerals, territory or
population as key drivers of Central Africa's violent history.
