Le 30 juin 1960, le Congo n?est plus une colonie belge mais un État indépendant. Rapidement, la riche province du Katanga fait sécession sous la conduite de Moïse Tshombe, ennemi politique du Premier ministre Patrice Lumumba, profitant de l?inertie d?une Belgique plus préoccupée par ses problèmes propres que soucieuse de ses intérêts en Afrique. Nombreux furent les Belges qui, de bonne foi, ont cru au succès de ± la sécession du Katanga . Un ensemble d?éléments permit d?y croire pendant quelques semaines : les attitudes du roi Baudouin et du gouvernement Eyskens allaient dans ce sens. C?était sans compter avec la prise de position négative des Nations Unies et des États-Unis qui souhaitaient bouter les Belges hors du Congo et surtout de ne pas exporter la Guerre froide en Afrique. Mais s?appuyant initialement sur le gouvernement de Patrice Lumumba, les Nations Unies allaient rapidement déchanter. Au départ, le Secrétaire général Dag Hammarskjöld fut persuadé que tous les ennuis qu?il rencontrait étaient dus à l?omniprésence des Belges. Une fois ceux-ci partis, pensait-il, tout rentrerait dans l?ordre. Il n?en fut rien : l?ONUC dut reconquérir le Katanga par la force des armes pour le compte du gouvernement congolais. Il fallut deux ans et demi, pour réduire les gendarmes katangais, chasser les mercenaires, au prix de nombreuses vies, et mettre fin à la sécession du Katanga. Les Européens restés sur place, souvent avec courage, seront quant à eux baptisés ± Katangaleux . L?auteur de cet ouvrage fut l?un d?eux. Ce livre leur est dédié et vise à les sauver de l?oubli.

It is no coincidence that a historical figure such as Patrice Emery Lumumba, independent Congo's first prime minister, who was killed in 1961, has lived in the realm of the cultural imaginary and occupied an afterlife in the arts. After all, his project remained unfinished and his corpse unburied. The figure of Lumumba has been imagined through painting, photography, cinema, poetry, literature, theatre, music, sculpture, fashion, cartoons and stamps, and also through historiography and in public space. Reverting to either beatifying or diabolising his persona, no art form has been able to escape and remain indifferent to Lumumba. Artists observe the memory and the unresolved suffering that inscribed itself both upon Lumumba's body and within the history of Congo. If Lumumba 'as an icon' lives on today, it is because the need for decolonisation does as well. Rather than seeking to unravel the truth of actual events surrounding the historical Lumumba, this book engages with his representations. What is more, it considers every historiography as inherently embedded in iconography. Film scholars, art critics, historians, philosophers, and anthropologists discuss the rich iconographic heritage inspired by Lumumba. Furthermore, 'Lumumba's Iconography in the Arts' offers unique testimonies by a number of artists who have contributed to Lumumba's polymorphic iconography, such as Marlène Dumas, Luc Tuymans, Raoul Peck, and Tshibumba Matulu, and includes contributions by such highly acclaimed scholars as Gayatri Spivak, Johannes Fabian, Bogumil Jewsiewicky, and Elikia M'Bokolo.
