Brazzaville Charms
Brutalized by colonialism, plundered by politicians and destroyed in terrifying civil wars: Congo Brazzaville is Africa at its worst. But it is also home to people who inspire hope through their courage, their determination, their enduring optimism, and their sense of fun. Brazzaville Charms is a unique portrait of a country long ignored by the rest of the world. This first-person account, based on original research and interviews, tells the story of militiamen who are led by a dreadlocked reincarnation of Christ, of exorcisms and sorcery, of pygmies who are owned by their masters, of timber companies exploiting the rain forest, and of the wars that have been caused by oil.
Pour le Congo-Brazzaville
Les récents événements, de 1992 à 1999 ont bouleversé et ruiné la nation, l'Etat, la République, la démocratie, l'économie, la solidarité, l'unité, la confiance, la paix, l'espoir. Pour que le Congo retrouve sa force psychologique, son énergie sociale, ses vertus de travail, sa capacité de dialogue, sa dimension africaine, son dynamisme de coopération internationale, il faut partir du PARDON. Dix propositions sont faites ici pour sortir le Congo des impasses psychologiques et socio-politiques actuelles.

Catholic Women of Congo-Brazzaville
Catholic Women of Congo-Brazzaville explores the changing relationship between women and the Catholic Church from the establishment of the first mission stations in the late 1880s to the present. Phyllis M. Martin emphasizes the social identity of mothers and the practice of motherhood, a prime concern of Congolese women, as they individually and collectively made sense of their place within the Church. Martin traces women's early resistance to missionary overtures and church schools, and follows their relationship with missionary Sisters, their later embrace of church-sponsored education, their participation in popular Catholicism, and the formation of women's fraternities. As they drew together as mothers and sisters, Martin asserts, women began to affirm their place in a male-dominated institution. Covering more than a century of often turbulent times, this rich and readable book examines an era of far-reaching social change in Central Africa.

Back to Brazzaville
This book seeks to bring a relatively less known African country, the Republic of Congo, vividly alive to readers through anecdotes, photos, and historiography. While there is some mention of U.S. policy past and present, the text is more anecdotal than didactic or academic.
