- W2914360877 abstract "Ira Dworkin’s fascinating survey of African American sensibilities about the Congo, Congo Love Song: African American Culture and the Crisis of the Colonial State, is an enormously important book, breaking down the abstract gesture to the diaspora, or to “Africa,” and more tightly focusing our attention on one small region of outsized importance in that vast and variegated continent. One small region, that is, and the myriad political engagements, commitments, and movements that took up “the Congo” as a moral crisis, spotlighted it for all the world to see, and worked to use that illumination to change African American culture and to improve the conditions of black Africans and African-descended peoples everywhere. On a deeper level, Congo Love Song is, one must admit, not so much a revelation as it is an important contribution to a body of work that is already changing the way we do history. Over the last twenty years or so, African American history has been transformed by the transnational and by the diasporic. Following in the footsteps of major interdisciplinary scholars in transnational American history and American studies (the book opens with a discussion of the Amy Kaplan and Donald E. Pease collection Cultures of United States Imperialism [1993]), Dworkin hopes that his use of “the Congo as a visible site of American and African American engagement and counterengagement” will help to “[locate] colonialism, in all its political minutiae, at the heart of American culture from [the] early postbellum encounters through the Cold War and early years of postcolonialism” (15). Some readers—and especially those who’ve been working on this issue for a while, or who long ago accepted that empire was foundational to American political culture—may wonder at the originality of this ambition, and yet it is undeniably true that Dworkin is the very first to pull at this particular Congolese thread." @default.
