Disability and Distribution: Becoming a Valuable Person in Kinshasa - The International African Library
Devlieger, Clara (Universite de Lausanne, Switzerland)
Set in the postcolonial city of Kinshasa (DR Congo), this ethnography considers how disabled persons navigate debates about the distribution of resources in a setting with little state organised welfare. Clara Devlieger examines controversial niches deemed as imperfect alternatives, which shape routes towards being considered a 'valuable person'
