Lumumba is generally recognized as a key figure in the transition from African colonialism. Nzongola-Ntalaja is now a professor of African, African-American and diaspora studies. Th is therefore both scholarly and set in a strong personal context, which includes 50 years of reading and research on Congolese politics. It recounts Lumumba's development as a leader and his unwavering opposition from an early age to the racism, injustice and exclusion of the colonial system. Lumumba was an outlier, an autodidact whose formal education stopped at fifth grade but whose knowledge base was equivalent to a good university education. He was elected prime minister in the first democratic election held in the Congo in 1960 and was assassinated seven months later, at the age of 35. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
