Abstract:
The Mongo Collection, covers cultural and historical information on the Nkundu and Boyela (central Mongo) and Ntomba and Ekonda (southern Mongo), circa 1880s to 1980s. The earliest source was compiled by Gustave E Hulstaert, who lived among the Nkundu (northern Mongo) in the 1930s, who provides rich information on Mongo marriage types and family life. Also included is an article by E. Boelaert, which may be the first systematic attempt at understanding Mongo social organization. Nelson explores the history of the Mongo people from 1880s-1940s. Topics covered include forced labor on foreign rubber and palm oil plantations, changes in the power base of local leaders, and transformations in kinship system and community organizations. Héléne Pagezy discusses the Mongo practice of making first time mothers build a plump physique. Hiroaki Sato describes and analyzes the hunting techniques of the Boyela of northern Mongo
