Poder, disputa e múltiplas narrativas históricas

Mbanza Kongo, the former capital of the Kingdom of Kongo, holds deep cultural and religious significance for the Bakongo people. A study reveals that local narratives portray Kulumbimbi as a sacred landscape symbolizing prosperity, peace, and sovereignty, contrasting sharply with colonial Portuguese and UNESCO interpretations that emphasize Luso-African presence. The research employs traditional oral histories to uncover these layered historical perspectives, highlighting the tension between indigenous identities and external narratives in shaping heritage significance.
