N2  - Suturing the City' focuses upon the "urban now", a moment suspended between lingering precolonial references, the broken dreams of a colonial past, and the not yet realised promises of neoliberal futures. This book provides an ethnographic and photographic investigation of the complex meanings of living ? and living together ? in Congo?s urban worlds today. The award-winning authors, anthropologist Filip De Boeck, and photographer Sammy Baloji, take the reader on a tour of specific urban sites in Kinshasa and beyond. 0In their detailed analysis these sites emerge as suturing points in which the possibilities of collective urban action and dreams of a shared future continue to be explored in Africa
