About the book

From the 1950's onwards the British empire has declined steadily in size. The countries that have left the empire have suddenly found themselves facing the task of affixing their own identitarian narratives. After all, a newly independent country needs a sense of national identity - doesn't it? Taking this well - known assumption of postcolonial studies as its start The Writing of the Nation assesses how the Congo has told the story of itself since gaining independence.
