It is an immensely readable and radical introduction to the Congo that pays attention to the importance of economic production for social organization throughout the country's recent history. It also argues that the nature of global capitalism, far from always leading to modernization, can in fact mean the expansion of private capital accompanied by social collapse. As for the future, the hope is that another politics will emerge from the resistance of ordinary Congolese to imperialist slaughter and the post-independence Mobutu dictatorship. -- Publisher's Description. 0aCongo (Democratic Republic)xColonial influence. 0aPillagezCongo (Democratic Republic)xHistory. 0aImperialismxHistory. 0aCapitalismxPolitical aspectsxHistory. 0aMines and mineral resourcesxPolitical aspectszCongo (Democratic Republic)xHistory. 0aCongo (Democratic Republic)xEconomic conditions. 0aCongo (Democratic Republic)xPolitics and government. 0aGovernment, Resistance tozCongo (Democratic Republic)xHistory. 0aCongo (Democratic Republic)xHistory, Military. 4aPillagezCongo (Democratic Republic)xHistory. 4aImperialismxHistory. 4aCapitalismxPolitical aspectsxHistory. 4aMines and mineral resourcesxPolitical aspectszCongo (Democratic Republic)xHistory. 4aGovernment, Resistance tozCongo (Democratic Republic)xHistory. 4aCongo (Democratic Republic)xColonial influence. 7aCapitalismxPolitical aspects.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00846436 7aColonial influence.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01352432 7aEconomic history.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00901974 7aGovernment, Resistance to.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00945663 7aImperialism.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00968126 7aMines and mineral resourcesxPolitical aspects.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01022600 7aPillage.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01064096 7aPolitics and government2fast0(OCoLC)fst01919741 7aCongo (Democratic Republic)2fast0(OCoLC)fst0120872317aPolitieke aspecten.2gtt17aSociale situatie.2gtt 7aKongo (Kinshasa)2gtt 7aPlundringarxhistoriazKongo (Kinshasa)2sao 7aKonga (Kinshasa)xpolitik och f�orvaltning.2sao 7aKapitalismxpolitiska aspekterxhistoria.2sao 7aImperialismxhistoria.2sao 7aKongo (Kinshasa)xekonomiska f�orh�allanden.2sao 7aHistory.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01411628 7aMilitary history.2fast0(OCoLC)fst014116301 aSeddon, David.1 aZeilig, Leo.08iOnline version:aRenton, Dave, 1972-tCongo.dLondon ; New York : Zed Books ; New York : Distributed in the USA exclusively by Palgrave Macmillan, �2007w(OCoLC)653434726413Table of contentsuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0659/2006045279-t.html423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0659/2006045279-b.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0659/2006045279-d.html
