Description

First published in 1992, this anthropological study examines the profound impact of European colonisation on Kongo society and culture at the turn of the 20th century. Through the Society and Culture in Crisis project, the author reveals how global evolution proceeded as a continuous process whilst local societies experienced repeated cycles of rise and decline. The research provides a detailed analysis of development patterns in the Lower Congo, tracing how colonisation fundamentally altered indigenous social structures and cultural practices. This volume contributes significantly to understanding the mechanisms through which external forces reshape established communities, offering insights into the complex relationship between global systems and local resilience during periods of dramatic historical change.

Draws on the Society and Culture in Crisis project to contrast global evolution patterns with local cyclical changes.
