Reading African cities into contemporary theory—reprint of a richly illustrated reference work In their internationally acclaimed publication Kinshasa: Tales of the Invisible City, anthropologist Filip De Boeck and photographer Marie-Françoise Plissart provide a history not only of the physical and visible urban reality that Kinshasa presents today, but also of a second, invisible city as it exists in the mind and imagination of its inhabitants. They bring to light a mirroring reality lurking underneath the surface of the visible world and explore the constant transactions that take place between these two levels in Kinshasa’s urban scape. With the exhibition that accompanied the release of their Kinshasa book, the authors won a Golden Lion at the 11th International Architecture Bienniale in Venice, 2004. This beautifully illustrated publication is now again made available. Based on longstanding field research, it provides insight into local social and cultural imaginaries, and thus in the imaginative ways in which local urban subjects continue to make sense of their worlds and invent cultural strategies to cope with the breakdown of urban infrastructure.

After decades of tremendous growth, Kinshasa-capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo-is now the second-largest urban area in sub-Saharan Africa. And as the city has grown-from around 300,000 people in the mid-1950s to more than five million today-it has experienced seismic social, economic, and demographic changes. In this book, David Shapiro and B. Oleko Tambashe trace the impact of these changes on the lives of women, and their findings add dramatically to the field's limited knowledge of African demographic trends. They find that fertility has declined significantly in Kinshasa since the 1970s, and that women's increasing access to secondary education has played a key role in this decline. Better access to education has also given women greater access to employment opportunities. And by examining the impact of such factors as economic well-being and household demographic composition on the schooling of children, Shapiro and Tambashe reveal how one generation's fertility affects the next generation's education. This book will be a valuable guide for anyone who wants to understand the complex and ongoing social, demographic, economic, and developmental changes in contemporary sub-Saharan Africa.

The study allowed us to understand that the urban vegetation of Kinshasa has been declining over the years, especially in the neighborhoods of the old municipalities and a slow progression in the new neighborhoods of the peripheral municipalities. This general downward trend should bring us awareness so that we can maintain and protect the existing urban vegetation. This downward trend can be explained by the fact that the area occupied by the constructions in the plots becomes larger and larger, that is to say that over the years, the old constructions from the beginning during the the acquisition of the plots disappear in favor of new larger and more comfortable constructions in the plots. Moreover, at the beginning of the birth of the district, the owners are mainly interested in planting the trees in the plot, but as the district ages, the urban vegetation becomes dense and the interest of planting other trees are no longer justified. It is also a regrettable fact to note that no tree has been detected in the streets of African neighborhoods and this because of the narrowness of the streets or a simple omission of the town planner, who has not made the relevant arrangements during the development of these districts. Planting a fruit tree in your plot is a profitable initiative as the fruits are an important source of nutrients. In this case, the fruit tree not only provides fruit but also provides shade and also improves the living environment in the plot.

Au Congo-Kinshasa sont souvent associés les nombreux viols commis par des groupes armés et des soldats incontrôlés dans sa partie orientale. Pourtant, la République démocratique du Congo (le nom officiel du Congo-Kinshasa) est un pays complexe, qui ne peut se résumer aux guerres qui ont dévasté une infime partie de son territoire au cours de ces dernières années et qui, pour l'essentiel, dérivent du génocide rwandais de 1994. Ce pays immense dispose d'un sol fertile et d'un sous-sol riche. La RDC est attachante par sa diversité culturelle et artistique, par l'hospitalité légendaire de ses peuples ainsi que par la variété de ses paysages, de sa faune et de sa flore. Dès le XVe siècle, les Portugais coopèrent avec le royaume Kongo. L'or, l'ivoire, le cuivre et les esclaves les intéressent. Il faut attendre la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle pour voir la Belgique, sous la houlette du roi Léopold II, l'emporter sur les autres nations européennes lancées dans une course effrénée à la colonisation. La Conférence de Berlin, qui attribue officiellement le territoire du Congo au roi des Belges en 1885, est une victoire majeure pour Léopold II. Celui-ci ne rêve que d'une chose : accroître la force de frappe économique de la Belgique en exploitant les richesses de cette terre lointaine. L'inexorable marche vers l'indépendance est émaillée de révoltes et de violences. Depuis qu il s'est défait du joug de la colonisation, le 30 juin 1960, le pays a connu des sécessions, des guerres et des assassinats politiques. Quatre présidents se sont succédé jusqu'ici aux commandes du Congo indépendant : Joseph Kasa-Vubu, Mobutu Sese Seko, Laurent-Désiré Kabila et Joseph Kabila. A chacun son style. Mais les grands défis d'hier sont presque les mêmes que ceux d'aujourd'hui. Le plus grand pays d'Afrique sub-saharienne a reculé en termes de développement et tarde à jouer le rôle qui aurait dû lui revenir tout naturellement
