I have added the D R Congo banner to this article, as it concerns an outstanding living intellectual who hails from that nation. As a researcher in specifically French and Belgian culture I am not an expert on Mudimbe, but know enough from professional connections as to be able to substantiate that claim and certain other basic facts about him. I commend this article to the Project and its members. Pufferfyshe (talk) 20:43, 11 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

There's really no verifiable way to compare Mudimbe's work to that of Edward Said. More references needed or something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peacekeepurwar (talk • contribs) 04:51, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
