Young /Velu soon came to say that it was a custom among them that strangers should sit outside, so that all the people may have an opportunity of looking at them. Yielding to his persuasive eloquence, I went out, and took up my seat beneath the palms, and resignedly made myself a public gazing stock for fifteen or twenty minutes.

Memories Of Violence In Peru And The Congo written by Gilbert Shang Ndi and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2021-12-30 with Literary Criticism categories.
The book presents an intertextual and comparative analysis of memories of violence in Peruvian and Congolese Literature. Examining a variety of novels that offer insightful representations of violence in their respective historical settings, the author argues that similar historical experiences between Latin America and Africa engender ethical/aesthetic responses and enhance trans-continental critical dialogues in comparative literary studies. In the same way that the drama of the Congo has become the symbolic open wound of (post)colonial dispensation in Africa, Spanish conquest in Latin America also produced spaces where the legacy of colonialism is strongly visible and memorable, providing fertile ground for the reproduction of violence. This book explores the concept and reality of violence beyond its most obvious manifestations, demonstrating how in the colonial contexts of Peru and the Congo, violence was a function of (post)colonial power dynamics and deeply engrained socio-political, economic and cultural ordering and othering. From this perspective, the work considers and re-examines theoretical contributions from authors such as John Galtung, Michel Foucault, Immanuel Wallerstein, Anibal Quijano, Frantz Fanon, Achille Mbembe, Eboussi Boulaga, Pierre Nora, Susan Sontag, Stevan Weine, Cathy Caruth and Nelson Maldonado-Torres. This book will be of interest for scholars working on how violence is explored and represented in literature and other art forms.

His book Status of Bad Memories was written just after the tragedy that happened in Democratic Republic of Congo in 1996 until 2004. He was shocked at the way he and other people from his tribe were marginalized and was horrified that they were being killed by other tribes from Congo and Interahamwe extremist groups from the neighboring country of Rwanda. This book delivers a true account of what happened during the civil war in Congo. Many people died, and Gabby survived the tragedy. With this book, he is thanking Americans and all people who contributed to the protection of his life and family from the hands of killers. He says that there is something inside his heart. The tragedy was caused by the war that happened in DRC. During that time, tears were everywhere in the country. People have been hunted as if they were wild animals. He saw this tragedy with his two eyes. He could stand in a hidden place to see what was happening. Women and children were also killed. His brothers and sisters became homeless. They are now wandering everywhere in the world. Killing a person was no longer a sin but a game to some tribes in Congo. This book is a mediator, a bridge to make Congo a holy place to live in and remind new generation that Congo deserves development instead of having killings, quarrels, and instability.

From the author of the New York Times bestselling and award-winning Not on Our Watch, John Prendergast co-writes a compelling book with Fidel Bafilemba--with stunning photographs by Ryan Gosling--revealing the way in which the people and resources of the Democratic Republic of Congo have been used throughout the last five centuries to build, develop, advance, and safeguard the United States and Europe. The book highlights the devastating price Congo has paid for that support. However, the way the world deals with Congo is finally changing, and the book tells the remarkable stories of those in Congo and the United States leading that transformation. The people of Congo are fighting back against a tidal wave of international exploitation and governmental oppression to make things better for their nation, their neighborhoods, and their families. They are risking their lives to resist and alter the deadly status quo. And now, finally, there are human rights movements led by young people in the United States and Europe building solidarity with Congolese change-makers in support of dignity, justice, and equality for the Congolese people. As a result, the way the world deal with Congo is finally changing. Fidel Bafilemba, Ryan Gosling, and John Prendergast traveled to Congo to document some of the stories not only of the Congolese upstanders who are building a better future for their country but also of young Congolese people overcoming enormous odds just to go to school and help take care of their families. Through Gosling's photographs of Congolese daily life, Bafilemba's profiles of heroic Congolese activists, and Prendergast's narratives of the extraordinary history and evolving social movements that directly link Congo with the United States and Europe, Congo Stories provides windows into the history, the people, the challenges, the possibilities, and the movements that could change the course of Congo's destiny. Chosen by Amazon as the Best Book of the Month for December 2018 in Biographies & Memoirs, History, and Nonfiction. Featuring the life story of Dr. Denis Mukwege, winner of the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize

This exciting book is a real-life story about Blessed Jonhera, who participated in the Congo War with the Zimbabwean army as an infantry platoon commander. This war which was famously referred to as "The Second Congo War", was fought from 1998 to 2003. Blessed, arrived in the Congo in June 1999, just after hostilities had started to de-escalate but still found the situation volatile. Still fresh from the officers' training academy, he found himself at the thick-end of the war. Together with his colleagues, they quickly adapted to the tense environment in the area around Kabalo bridge. The allied forces positions at Katutu, Ndeya and Kabumba were subjected to daily artillery bombardments by the rebel forces. As the war progressed, the allied forces retaliated by air dropping highly explosive bombs nicknamed 'goma bombs' on the enemy positions at Kabalo and in areas around Goma. Blessed demonstrates the excitement that was generated by the first air raid on the enemy position at Kabalo town in this extract from his book;'At roughly 2130 hours, the battalion second-in-command who had been taking a smoke break outside, came running to the entrance of the command post. With one leg inside and his head turned up towards the dark sky, he told us to come outside. Once we were outside, we noticed very dim lights from two high flying objects which by now had just gone past our position in the direction of Kabalo town. "Gentlemen, it is happening now!" the Major shouted excitedly. He was jumping up and down like a small child, but I could understand why he had been overcome by such excitement. If the rebel strongholds at Kabalo and Zouff were bombed into submission, this would mean the end of the artillery shelling on Katutu and the other allied defensive positions.'These destructive bombs caused wide spread deaths and suffering on the rebels' side. A few days after the bombs fell, the rebels began to surrender in large numbers.The war in the jungles of the Democratic Republic of Congo involved a lot of foot patrols especially on the allied forces side. Territories needed to be dominated and the only way to achieve this, was to conduct long range foot patrols. These patrols could last for more than three days, and the men had to endure heavy rains and high temperatures in the equatorial climate. Dangerous river crossings under the ever-present threat of rebel ambushes were a phenomenon. Blessed, was involved in many of these patrols and had close encounters with the rebel forces in Kasenga Mpete and at Kabumba.
