From what appears in this book, two realities seem to have competed for the limelight: Lumumba's political talent, on the one hand, and his literary talent, on the other.

From what appears in this book, two realities seem to have competed for the limelight: Lumumba's political talent, on the one hand, and his literary talent, on the other. While the former was immediately obvious, to the point of attracting almost unanimous positive reviews, both in his own country and on the continent, and even worldwide, the same cannot be said of the latter, the literary talent of this Hero and Martyr of Congolese Independence, which the few critics seem to have confined to pamphlets and political declarations (sometimes deemed controversial). In any case, Lumumba deserves to be listed among the Congolese writers of the "1960 - 1965" period. This gesture would contribute in some small way to the discovery and exhumation of one of the "hidden face" particles. This book is as much a testimony to the multi-faceted talents mentioned above as it is a plea to any justice-loving spirit for his rehabilitation. It is true that no one, better than Lumumba, found the appropriate lexicon, syntax and rhetoric to paint the painful realities of slavery, colonialism and neo-colonialism suffered by his compatriots. Etc.
