Description:
Grand Central Publishing (2018), 2018. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Small quarto, hardcover, fine in fine white and black pictorial dj. 1st Edition. Congo is one of the most complex countries in the world, yet it is the most overlooked. It is one of the wealthiest in Africa as a result of its natural endowments, but its people are some of the poorest in the world. Congolese culture is informed by the brutality of war. Over 5 million Congolese died at the beginning of the 21st century because of our demand for the minerals that power our cellphones and laptops. Billions of dollars are being siphoned out of the country while billions in humanitarian aid and peacekeeping are coming in to clean up the mess. 334 pp.
