How Belgium Colonized The Mind of the Congo

Spaas, L: 2007 New York, hardcover 236 pages, with photos. How Belgium Colonized the Mind of the Congo. Seeking the Memory of an African People by Lieve Spaas explores how Belgian colonial rule shaped Congolese memories, identities and ways of thinking, using interviews, travel narratives and historical material to trace the psychological and cultural imprint of colonization. The book brings together Belgian and Congolese voices to examine representations of the Congo from colonial times to the present, showing how power, violence and racism were internalized, resisted and reimagined in personal recollections and public narratives.
