Students of the World: Global 1968 and Decolonization in the Congo by Pedro Mona

Description: Students of the World by Pedro Monaville Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Pedro Monaville traces a generation of Congolese student activists whose work following the Congos independence became central to national politics and broader decolonization movements during the global 1960s. Publisher Description On June 30, 1960-the day of the Congos independence-Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba gave a fiery speech in which he conjured a definitive shift away from a past of colonial oppression toward a future of sovereignty, dignity, and justice. His assassination a few months later showed how much neocolonial forces and the Cold War jeopardized African movements for liberation. In Students of the World, Pedro Monaville traces a generation of Congolese student activists who refused to accept the foreclosure of the future Lumumba envisioned. These students sought to decolonize university campuses, but the projects of emancipation they articulated went well beyond transforming higher education. Monaville explores the modes of being and thinking that shaped their politics. He outlines a trajectory of radicalization in which gender constructions, cosmopolitan dispositions, and the influence of a dissident popular culture mattered as much as access to various networks of activism and revolutionary thinking. By illuminating the many worlds inhabited by Congolese students at the time of decolonization, Monaville charts new ways of writing histories of the global 1960s from Africa.
