Summary

The biography “Patrice Lumumba” questions our often complacent image of Africa by documenting “post-colonial” state crimes committed by Belgium, the USA and other Western countries. The brutal murder of the great Pan-African Lumumba is placed in a historical and contemporary context and its significance for the ongoing exploitation of the continent and the Congo in particular by Western corporations is presented in a committed and critical manner.
