Writing in Ciluba. From Colonial Extirpation to the Challenge of Globalisation
Original language description
This chapter stands on the Belgian colonisation process to examine the idea that colonisation represented the ruthless gravedigger of languages of colonised people. It focused particularly on Ciluba which became a literate and literary language thanks to the work of German explorers and Belgian missionaries. As such, this language was used at first to promote the colonial civilizing mission. Secondly, Luba people relied on it to preserve their culture as well as to enrich their own identity. The successive Congolese post-colonial regimes failed to promote a real language policy concerning national languages. Otherwise, the Luba diaspora largely contributes to the promotion of the Luba book industry in the current context of globalization.
