Description of A Colonial Lexicon
Rejecting the "colonial encounter" paradigm pervasive in current studies, this title weaves together stories about autopsies and bicycles, obstetric surgery and male initiation, to reveal how concerns about strange new objects and procedures fashioned the hybrid social world of colonialism and its aftermath in Mobutu's Zaire.
