Au sud du Katanga, une des régions les plus riches d’Afrique et qui constitue le cœur économique du Congo, les villes sont nées autour des mines de cuivre et de cobalt. La relation entre l’industrie minière et la population est une relation quasi filiale. Dans ces paysages en friche, Sammy Baloji analyse depuis près de dix ans cette interaction en captant les souvenirs, les espoirs et l’imaginaire de ces enfants de la mine. La perspective historique de la série Mémoire a l’audace d’inviter les opprimés d’hier à dialoguer avec les ruines d’aujourd’hui. Loin de présenter une impasse, elle invite à repenser la société, comme pour l’exorciser, donner la paix aux morts pour qu’ils ne nous hantent plus. L’optimisme de cette démarche apparaît plus clairement dans Kolwezi, qui présente une ville fantôme et des ouvriers qui se réapproprient, autant que faire se peut, leurs richesses et leurs rêves de confort. Et au-delà, leur quête de dignité. Capstures the relationship between the mining industry in southern Katanga, one of the richest regions in Africa, and the population, documenting the memories, hopes and imaginings of these children of the mines.

In this book, a make-believe cocaine museum becomes a vantage point from which to assess the lives of Afro-Colombian gold miners drawn into the dangerous world of cocaine production in the rain forest of Colombia's Pacific Coast. Although modeled on the famous Gold Museum in Colombia's central bank, the Banco de la República, Taussig's museum is also a parody aimed at the museum's failure to acknowledge the African slaves who mined the country's wealth for almost four hundred years. Combining natural history with political history in a filmic, montage style, Taussig deploys the show-and-tell modality of a museum to engage with the inner life of heat, rain, stone, and swamp, no less than with the life of gold and cocaine. This effort to find a poetry of words becoming things is brought to a head by the explosive qualities of those sublime fetishes of evil beauty, gold and cocaine. At its core, Taussig's museum is about the lure of forbidden things, charged substances that transgress moral codes, the distinctions we use to make sense of the world, and above all the conventional way we write stories.
