Maggiori informazioni sul libro

By examining the Belgian Congo from 1908 to 1959, this book re-evaluates the notion that poor economic performance in post-colonial states is solely a result of colonialism. It positions the Congo as a developmental state and urges researchers and students to critically analyze prevailing narratives in colonial history, development, and African Studies, fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in these topics.
