Provinces at Independence, 1960 In the welter of political formations that appeared after the Belgian declaration of January 13, 1959, at least one partÍÍÍÍy stood as the standard-bearer of pan-territorial nationalist aspirations: the Congolese National Movement (Mouvement National Congolais MNC). Technically, the MNC was formed in August 1956. Its declared objective was to "pursue the political emancipation of the Congo," while fostering among its members "a consciousness of their national unity and responsibilities." Although the party never disavowed its commitment to national unity, not until the arrival of Patrice Lumumba in Léopoldville in 1958 did it enter its militant phase. There can be little doubt that the MNC owed a great deal of its success to Lumumba's charisma, to his uncanny ability to galvanize crowds, never more impressive than when venting the collective grievances of his followers against Belgian colonialism. His undeniable talent as a political organizer and an activist, coupled with his passionate commitment to the idea of a united Congo perhaps reflective of his Tetela origins, the Tetela being a relatively small group located in Kasaiwere critical factors as well behind the rapid extension of the MNC in at least four of the Belgian Congo's six provinces (see

Distribution of Principal Ethnic Groups Source: Based on information from Jan Vansina, Introduction a l'ethnographie du Congo , Kinshasa, 1966. Northwestern and north-central Zaire, more specifically the subregions of Ubangi and Mongala in Équateur Region, have been occupied by speakers of the eastern section of the Adamawa-Eastern language family since their arrival in the seventeenth or eighteenth century (see fig. 9 ). They are classed into three major ethnic groups, namely the Ngbandi, the Ngbaka, and the Bandaspeaking groups (of which the Mbanja are the most important). Conflicts and migrations have dispersed these groups to some degree; the Mbanja in particular do not occupy a contiguous territory. Northeastern Zaire, specifically in the subregion of Bas-Uele and the northern portions of Haut-Ueleboth in Haut-Zaïreis peopled by a heterogeneous group called the Zande, also speakers of the eastern section of the Adamawa-Eastern language family. The Zande are sometimes divided into two sections: to the east, the Vungara and to the west, the Bandiya. Each section has taken its name from the clan providing the ruling house in the areas included in it. The Vungara are the larger of the two, and the following sketch has been based on data from them. The Zande emerged as a people in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when groups of hunters, probably divided into an aristocracy called the Vungara and commoners called the Mbomu, penetrated the area and subjugated the Bantu-speaking and AdamawaEastern -speaking peoples they found there. The dynamic of the conquest was influenced by the rules of succession to the monarchy among the Vungara. A man took his father's throne only when he had vanquished those of his brothers who chose to compete for it. One or more of the losing brothers, a prince or princes without land or people, then undertook to find and rule a previously unconquered people. This process continued through the nineteenth century until a large area and a wide assortment of peoples had been dominated by the Zande Vungara. The outcome was a rich mixture of the cultures of conqueror and conquered.

Science in Christian Perspective Anthropology and Christian Attitudes About Culture WILLIAM A. SMALLEY From: JASA 7 (December 1956): 15-17. (A review article on E. A. Nida's Customs and Cultures: ,4nthropology for Christian Missions, New York: Harper and Brothers, 1954). N ida's Custonis and Cultures is an important book for all Christians who are concerned with human behavior, whether it be on the level of theology, ethics, social science, evangelism, or simply normal interpersonal and interdenominational relations within and without the Christian community. The book is addressed to Christian inissions in particular, but this apparently limited focus may be deceptive to the Christian whose interest in missions does not extend deeply into the principles and methodology of the "foreign" witness of the church. The book is important completely aside from its missionary slant. And lest my statements to that effect seem to be only the enthusiasm of another Christian interested in anthropology and its implications, it should be pointed out that the American Library Association selected it as one of the 50 outstanding religious books published during the twelve-month period for the year 1954-55. The importance of Customs and Cultures The Christian's knowledge of the range of human custom is as limited by his own background as is that of anvone else. This colors his views and distorts them. Ile may believe that all medicine men are clever rascals who deceive the innocent, that all peoples have a sense of guilt for sin, that democracy the best forin of government for all people. The cross-cultural view reveals that many of his tacit assumptions simply are not true. It should give an enlarged sense of proportion in respect to behavior. How much of our "Christian way of life" is simply our culture-a product of our history-with nothing really "Christian" about it? The question has been argued endlessly. The data are anthropological. Nida does not spend much time discussing this problem in the abstract, but some of the force of his cross-cultural perspective may be seen in the following quotation:
