We are happy to announce that the article “Archives of Military Courts in Colonial Congo: New Sources for the History of Violence and Agency in Central Africa” has just been published in History in Africa. In this open access paper, Benoît Henriet, Amandine Lauro and Renaud Juste detail the history of the Conseils de Guerre‘s records, their ongoing digitization, and their rich epistemic potential. They use specific judicial cases to show how these archives can bring new insights into the history of violence and African agency in the Belgian empire.
