Understanding the current civil war in the Congo requires an examination of how the Congos identity has been imagined over time. Imagining the Congo historicizes and contextualizes the constructions of the Congos identity in order to analyze the political implications of that identity, looking in detail at four historical periods in which the identity of the Congo was contested, with numerous forces attempting to produce and attach meanings to its territory and people. Dunn looks specifically at how what he calls imaginings of the Congo have allowed the current state of affairs there to develop, but he also looks at the broader conceptual question of how the concept of identity has developed and become important in recent international relations scholarship.
