A Cross-Cultural Perspective on Personhood
Central African and Japanese outlooks on the person differ profoundly from one another. But they have in common a perspective on the human person shared by most non-Western societies and cultures: they emphasize the contextual, relational nature of personhood. This way of looking at the person, and our own individual-oriented and legalistic perspective on the person, carry different sets of meanings, fulfillments, and strains for the individuals …

The Jamaa and the Church. A Bantu Catholic Movement in Zaire
Studies of independent religious movements in sub-Saharan Africa have been so numerous that one might expect little new to emerge. In The 3amaa and the Church, however, we are presented with the fascinating story of a prophetic movement in Zaire, the central characteristics of which indeed are novel. The most important is that the Jamaa ('family' in Swahili) was founded in 1953 not by rebellious citizens of Zaire, but by a Belgian priest, Placied…
The Congo/Zaire Archives of the Northern (Flemish) Belgian Jesuit Province in Brussels, Belgium
Historians and social scientists concerned with African societies and cultures are well aware that the archives of Protestant and Catholic missionary groups that have worked in Africa contain valuable primary and secondary materials. In the case of Catholic missions, however, scholars are perhaps more aware of collections of documents of various congregations and orders of sisters, brothers and priests, deposited in their central archives in Rome…

A Sociologist's Encounter With the Jamaa
From the summer of 1963 through the summer of 1967 I conducted the fieldwork for a sociological study of a religious movement in Zaire, called the Jamaa. Over the course of 1971 to 1973 I wrote a book-length monograph on the Jamaa, including some observations on my relationship to it, which became my dissertation for the Ph. D. in Sociology at Harvard University. 1) In the intervening years between 1967 and 1973 I made three follow-up visits to v…
Religious Movements in Central Africa: A Theoretical Study
A shared sense of discovery and frustration prompts us to write this article. Independently, from our anthropological, historical and sociological research in Zaire over a period of many years, we have been impressed with the pivotal role of religion and magic in that society. The recurrence and development of religious movements in Zaire throughout its known history is an archetypical expression of that predominance. In our view, these movements…

The Second Independence: A Case Study of the Kwilu Rebellion in the Congo
The particular rebellion in the Congo with which we are concerned in this article is the one that began in the Kwilu Province in January 1964 and, as such, was the first in a chain of rebellions that have erupted in the Congo in the course of the past year
