AFRICAN STUDIES/COLONIAL H ISTORY/HISTO RY OF MEDICINE
n A Nervous State, Nancy Rose Hunt considers the afterlives of violence
and harm in King Leopolds Congo Free State. Discarding catastrophe
as narrative form, she instead brings alive a history of colonial nervous-
ness. This mood suffused medical investigations, security operations, and
vernacular healing movements. With a heuristic of two colonial states—
one “nervous,” one biopolitical—the analysis alternates between medical
research into birthrates, gonorrhea, and childlessness and the securitiza-
tion of subaltern “therapeutic insurgencies.” By the time of Belgian Con-
go’s famed postwar developmentalist schemes, a shining infertility clinic
stood near a bleak penal colony, both sited where a notorious Leopol-
dian rubber company once enabled rape and mutilation. Hunts history
bursts with layers of perceptibility and song, conveying everyday surfaces
and daydreams of subalterns and colonials alike. Congolese endured and
evaded forced labor and medical and security screening. Quick-witted,
they stirred unease through healing, wonder, memory, and dance. This
capacious medical history sheds light on Congolese sexual and musical
economies, on practices of distraction, urbanity, and hedonism. Drawing
on theoretical concepts from Georges Canguilhem, Georges Balandier,
and Gaston Bachelard, Hunt provides a bold new framework for teasing
out the complexities of colonial history.
“With stunning insight, Nancy Rose Hunt makes a distinguished contribu-
tion to African history that goes a long way toward generating a critical
understanding of colonial projects, their alignment with forms of early
capitalism, and the brutal practices of extraction industries. By braiding
these issues with the emergence of new healing cults, Hunt helps us to
better understand the complex social process of colonialism. A Nervous
State will greatly impact African studies, colonial history, and the anthro-
pology of medicine and violence.”—VEENA DAS, coeditor of The Ground
Between: Anthropologists Engage Philosophy
“In this compelling account, Nancy Rose Hunt draws on an astonishing
range of archival sources and her own interviews to move the history of
the Belgian Congo beyond the externally driven Catastrophe* narrative to
something far more complex. Violence and death are still at the core here,
but so are birth and healing and nervous laughter.”—MEGAN VAUGHAN
