Writing Transimperial Histories from/of the Belgian Congo
This article investigates the neglect of the Belgian colonial empire – particularly the Belgian Congo – in the burgeoning field of transimperial history. It explores this omission from both a historical and historiographical perspective, not to advocate for an umpteenth academic ‘turn’, but rather to reflect on the Belgian empire’s ambivalent relationship to internationalism and comparisons and its impact on knowledge production about the Congo’s…
Archives of Military Courts in Colonial Congo
This article offers an overview of the recently rediscovered archives of the Conseils de Guerre—the military court—of colonial Congo (1885–1960). As a long-considered lost collection of court records encompassing seventy years of testimonies of colonial military crimes, these archives offer unparalleled insights on the complex relation between law, impunity, and armed violence in colonial Central Africa. The article first sheds light on the histo…

Cet article présente le programme de recherche HERICOL qui renouvelle l’analyse pluridisciplinaire des héritages coloniaux en Belgique
Across the Copperbelt
The Central African Copperbelt, encompassing the mining communities of Katanga (DR Congo) and Zambia, has been central to the study of modernisation and rapid social and political change in urban Africa. This volume expands upon earlier studies of industrial mining, male-dominated formal labour organisation and political change by examining both sides of the border from pre-colonial history to the present and encompassing a wide range of economic…
Policing in Colonial Empires
Colonial security strategies and the postcolonial vestiges they left both in the global South and in former metropoles have recently attracted renewed academic attention. Policing in Colonial Empires is a collection of essays reflecting current, ongoing research and exploring the multifaceted dynamics of policing in colonial societies over the past two centuries. Spanning several continents and colonial contexts (some of them liminal or little-ex…
Suspect Cities and the (Re)Making of Colonial Order
Between the end of the Second World War and the decolonization process, Congolese cities grew spectacularly, leading in some cases—such as in the capital Kinshasa—to a fourfold increase in African urban residents. These radical transformations of the colonial landscape (both spatial and social) raised new security challenges for Belgian authorities. Indeed, as their development coincided with dramatic social changes and with the rise of anticolon…
« J’ai l’honneur de porter plainte contre ma femme ». Litiges conjugaux et administration coloniale au Congo belge (1930-1960)
Au sortir de la Première Guerre mondiale, le Congo belge est gagné par une rhétorique de « crise du mariage » dont la multiplication des litiges conjugaux semble un symptôme. Ces litiges envahissent non seulement les tribunaux mais aussi les bureaux de poste de l’administration coloniale via des courriers de colonisés qui réclament le règlement de leurs contentieux matrimoniaux. Cet article propose des pistes d’analyse de cette production écrite …
