A Hidden Genocide explores the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, now ongoing for three decades, and its global ramifications. The violence has caused more deaths than any other conflict since World War II, and has been shaped by global capitalism and consumerism, and yet it is often overlooked: many people in the developed world are unaware of the war, and of how our actions as consumers have contributed to it. In this book, author Megan Goins examines the history of the conflict in its African and global context, as well as the reasons it has been so widely ignored around the world. Her analysis spans the history of the twentieth century, from Belgian colonialism to today's conflict mineral trade. She also examines wars in neighboring Rwanda and Burundi, which have significantly affected the Congo, with violence spreading across borders. This book provides a comprehensive picture of the country, its neighbors and their role in the violence, primary rebel militias, conflict mineral trade, and the international community. It will be essential reading for all those interested in warfare and violence in contemporary Africa, as well as their international repercussions.
