{"product_id":"9789462704558","title":"Suturing the City : Living Together in Congo's Urban Worlds by Sammy Baloji","description":"An ethnographic and photographic investigation into the complex meanings of living in Congo's urban worlds today.   Focusing upon the `urban now', a moment suspended between lingering precolonial references, the broken dreams of a colonial past, and the not yet realised promises of neoliberal futures, this book provides an ethnographic and photographic investigation of the complex meanings of living - and living together - in Congo's urban worlds today.   The authors, anthropologist Filip De Boeck and photographer Sammy Baloji, take the reader on a tour of specific urban sites in Kinshasa and beyond. In their detailed analysis these sites emerge as suturing points in which the possibilities of collective urban action and dreams of a shared future continue to be explored.
