Summary:

Eight years after Congo's independence, the government is asking its executives to justify their filiation, to prove that they are Congolese. Henri Lopes is thirty. It's a blast. He never forgot that hurt and indignation felt. How to prove what we are? What multiple and changing identities make up our being? Henri Lopes delves into the story of his parents. They were both half-breeds, born to a "native" mother" and a settler, "negroes preferably" one day, "white preferably" another. Henri Lopes inherited their stories. He grew up on the banks of the Congo River and the Oubangui River before discovering the Loire and the Seine. He returned to the Congo, left, traveled, wrote, committed. All his life has been under the sign of wandering and miscegenation.--Babelio
