Lingala only? A history of the D. R. Congo’s ideologies and counter-ideologies of monolingualism
This article investigates how ideologies of monolingualism have evolved over the course of Congolese history. Since King Leopold II’s Congo Free State (1885–1908), missionaries, linguists, and policymakers have made arguments to defend the top-down imposition of a singular language for vertical communication between the colonial state and the Congolese population. Similar debates remained at the heart of negotiations over state power throughout t…
Between Movement and Containment
This article explores the operations of Forminière, a major mining company in the Tshikapa region of the Belgian Congo during the early twentieth century, and its influence on labor dynamics, biopolitics, and colonial governance. The article argues that mining companies like Forminière were fundamentally in search of an equilibrium between movement – since migration was essential to maintaining a steady labor force in the mines – and containment,…
Between marriage and slavery
How will God hear us
This article studies how anti-Christian, 'traditionally African' organizations, locally known as Églises des Noirs, navigate religious competition in the Congolese capital through sonic and linguistic strategies. It focuses on the understudied Mpadist community, a 'dissident' branch of the better known Kimbanguist church. Mpadists mobilize diverging appreciations and meanings of sound and language to set themselves apart from the dominant Lingala…

This article focuses on the relations between the Internet, religion and ‘Kongo history’. The websites under study claim an existing ‘Kongo community’ and recurrently evoke the Kongo kingdom and historical figures like Kimpa Vita and Simon Kimbangu. Texts and images on Kongo history have long been available in print media, but through the increasing accessibility to the Internet and the consequent possibilities of online activities the distributi…
Still so many illusions to cast off
In the 1920s, the Belgian colonial government appointed a territorial administrator named René Pecheur, a former missionary, to organise the territorial unification of what was conceived as the Ngbaka ethnicity, in the Ubangi region of the Equatorial Province of the Belgian Congo. This project had its place in the larger colonial tendency from the end of the First World War onwards, to replace the former assimilationist policy by an indigenist on…
Ethnicity and Language in the Run-Up to Congolese Independence in the 1950s
Abako (Alliance des Bakongo), one of the main political parties rallying for Congolese independence in the late 1950s, started off as a linguistic-cultural movement to promote the use of the Kikongo language and Kongo identity in Leopoldville against a dominance of the Lingala language and “Bangala.” In reaction to this, members of the “Bangala” elite also organised themselves, after which a series of ideological confrontations between “Bakongo” …
