Abstract

Recaptioning Congo places the colonial Congo's photography history in new perspectives. Various writers take an African-centered look at imperial archival images and provide them with creative, contemporary and/or literary 'captions'.The book accompanies an exhibition at FOMU photography museum in Antwerp and is based upon the extensive research of the photographic history of colonial Congo (1885 - 1960), conducted by Dr. Sandrine Colard. It contains a wealth of revealing images that highlight the relationship between past and present, Africa and Europe and Belgium and Congo. Recaptioning Congo plaatst de fotografiegeschiedenis van koloniaal Congo in een nieuw perspectief. Diverse schrijvers werpen een Afrikaanse blik op de imperialistische archiefbeelden en voorzien ze van creatieve, hedendaagse en/of literaire 'bijschriften'. Dit boek verschijnt bij de gelijknamige tentoonstelling in het Antwerpse fotomuseum FOMU en is gebaseerd op het jarenlange onderzoek van Dr. Sandrine Colard naar de fotografiegeschiedenis van koloniaal Congo (1885 - 1960). Recaptioning Congo bevat een schat aan onthullende beelden die de relatie tussen heden en verleden, Afrika en Europa en België en Congo op scherp stellen. La publication Recaptioning Congo place l'histoire de la photographie coloniale au Congo dans de nouvelles perspectives. Cinq écrivains et un choeur de voix de Congolais "de tous les jours" jettent un regard africain sur les images d'archives coloniales et les pourvoient de « légendes » créatives, contemporaines et/ou littéraires. Cet ouvrage paraît à l'occasion de l'exposition éponyme au musée de la photographie d'Anvers (FOMU) fondée sur une recherche de plusieurs années menée par la Dr. Sandrine Colard concernant l'histoire de la photographie au Congo colonial (1885-1960), et renferme un trésor de photos révélatrices illustrant la relation entre présent et passé, Afrique et Europe, Belgique et Congo.

Abstract

In the 1880s, as the European powers were carving up Africa, King Leopold II of Belgium seized for himself the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. Carrying out a genocidal plundering of the Congo, he looted its rubber, brutalized its people, and ultimately slashed its population by ten million -- all the while shrewdly cultivating his reputation as a great humanitarian. Heroic efforts to expose these crimes eventually led to the first great human rights movement of the twentieth century, in which everyone from Mark Twain to the Archbishop of Canterbury participated. King Leopold's Ghost is the account of a megalomaniac of monstrous proportions, a man as cunning, charming, and cruel as any of the great Shakespearean villains. It is also the portrait of those who fought Leopold: a brave handful of missionaries, travelers, and young idealists who went to Africa for work or adventure and unexpectedly found themselves witnesses to a holocaust. Adam Hochschild brings this story alive. He knows that history often provides a far richer cast of characters than any novelist could invent. Chief among them is Edmund Morel, a young British shipping agent who went on to lead the international crusade against Leopold. Another hero of this tale, the Irish patriot Roger Casement, ended his life on a London gallows. Two courageous black Americans, George Washington Williams and William Sheppard, risked much to bring evidence of the Congo atrocities to the outside world. Sailing into the middle of the story was a young Congo River steamboat officer named Joseph Conrad. And looming above them all, the duplicitous billionaire King Leopold II.
