Jean Claude MAKATI Dudanga: Historical Overview Of The Bira People, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Negro Africa suffers from a reputation for being anhistorical. As historical heritage is transmitted mainly orally, many of Africa's past events seem to have been forgotten. This book is an attempt to recall a vestige of the past of a people from Central Africa, the Bira people, living in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the Province of Ituri, in the Territory of Irumu. The historical panorama of this people retraces their migratory path up to their settlement in the territory they now occupy. It also tells the story of explorer Stanley's encounter with this people. It also presents the socio-cultural evolution of this people. Exhibiting some of the people's once-hidden strengths, their ethnic ramifications, their historically attested peaceful resilience, etc., this book aims to help the Bira people improve further and develop an ultra-tribal brotherhood with a view to developing lasting peace in the region.
