Lingala is one of the main languages in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), (Congo-Kinshasa) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazzaville). There are 12 millions speakers of Lingala and it is worth noticing that it is nowadays a matter of interest in many other African countries, thanks to successful Congolese modern music. Therefore, it is not uncommon to hear Lingala or Lingala music in Lagos (Nigeria), Lomé (Togo), Nairobi (Kenya) and other African metropolis, where Congo stars such as Papa Wemba, Pépe Kallé, Koffi Olomide and others are famous.

The book explores what constitutes contemporary African social and political philosophy with regard to its meaning, aims, sources, and relevance for today’s Africa.
