About the Book

Don't Look Away! Snapshots of Congo and the Pygmies of Mubambiro chronicles the remarkable journey of Barbara Rose Ferguson, an Australian whose life became intertwined with the tumultuous landscapes and resilient people of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Spanning eight transformative years, Ferguson's narrative unveils the raw realities of a war-torn nation through the lens of her profound interactions with its inhabitants, particularly the marginalized Pygmy community of Mubambiro.


Ferguson's tale is one of unfiltered authenticity, shedding light on the harrowing experiences faced by Congolese women who have endured unimaginable atrocities yet emerged with resilience and a newfound sense of purpose. Her narrative is not sanitized; it confronts the stark challenges and injustices faced by these women head-on, offering a poignant portrayal of their strength amidst adversity.


Central to Ferguson's narrative is her dedication to the Pygmy population, a group often marginalized and neglected within Congolese society. Through her work, Ferguson delves into their lives, documenting their struggles against poverty, discrimination, and neglect. Her account challenges stereotypes and brings to light the humanity and dignity of a community often overlooked in mainstream discourse.


Beyond personal anecdotes, Ferguson's story is grounded in her extensive background in international aid, research, and teaching. Her frontline experiences in war-torn regions lend credibility to her observations and insights, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of the complexities of aid work in such challenging environments.


The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of one of Africa's most troubled regions, where conflict and instability have ravaged communities and displaced millions. Ferguson's firsthand perspectives offer a rare glimpse into the daily realities of those living amidst conflict, navigating the precarious balance between survival and hope.


Don't Look Away! serves not only as a memoir of Ferguson's experiences but also as a call to action. It challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about global inequities and the ongoing struggles faced by vulnerable populations like the Pygmies of Mubambiro. Through her storytelling, Ferguson invites readers to bear witness to the resilience and spirit of those often marginalized and to reconsider their roles in fostering positive change in the world.


In essence, Ferguson's narrative is a testament to the power of empathy, resilience, and human connection in the face of adversity. It stands as a reminder that even in the darkest of circumstances, there is hope, courage, and the potential for transformation.
