Mbongi: An African Traditional Political Institution
"Dr. Fu-Kiau shares the structure and process of 'governance,' a collective problem solving consensus building indigenous approach which is deeper than what most western discussants mean by 'democracy.' In his book 'African Cosmology of the Bantu-Kongo,' he delivers an equally profound definition of 'community.' Mbongi is a pwerful part of Dr. Fu-Kiau's broad body of scholarship, most of it yet to be published in English, that reveals the deep thought and actions in traditional life. Mbongi has the added advantage of being highly relevant to Africans and others now.' - Nana Baffour (Asa Hilliard)
