Colonialism, Education, and Work
This chapter focuses on the superimposed colonial system. Whatever the local traditions, Belgium colonialism introduced the Western-type school and the modern economic sector and gave preeminence to conservative Western concepts about gender roles—even in agriculture, where Congolese women had clearly defined managerial responsibilities. Belgian colonialism was dominated by the "Big Three": the Roman Catholic Church, the colonial administration, …
Knowledge Brokers
This paper is concerned with the process, problems, and politics of knowledge transfer in King Leopold's Congo. Since European languages were infrequently taught in Congo schools, the availability of printed materials in local African languages served as the primary means of achieving literacy and subsequently knowledge beyond that learned through practical experience. With the exception of Swahili, used in the Eastern Congo as a lingua franca , …
Educating Congolese Abroad
White Views of Black Minds
RESEARCH on the educability of Africans in the past focused narrowly on the learning process: could blacks learn as well as whites? Did they learn in the same manner?

It was said that the new Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba and President Moïse Tshombe of the dissident Katanga Province could only confer through an interpreter.

Some scholars maintain that in the late 1800s both the government and missionaries favored, and indeed established, industrial training (Berman, 1974: 530; Foster, 1965). Others insist that, contrary to government wishes, missionaries resisted the establishment of industrial ed…
