King Leopold's rule in Africa

E.D. Morel

4.9/5 (27008 ratings)

Description:The object of this book is to place before all men who claim the epithet of civilized, the condition of the Congo territories after nearly twenty years of King Leopold's rule. It has seemed to me that at the present stage in the struggle against an evil which has attained enormous proportions, something more was required than a recapitulation of preexisting records. I have thought that an effort should be made to explain with some fullness the inward cause leading to those outward effects of which the Congo territories are, and have been, for a considerable period, the scene. This I have endeavored to do by defining the radical distinction between the development of tropical Africa by trade, which involves the recognition of Native rights in land and fores produce; and the exploitation of Tropical Africa through the methods introduced, legalized, and upheld by King Leopold, the sole arbiter of and legislator for tile destinies of the Congo Natives. I have tried to show that a humane, common sense and just treatment of the Native races of tropical Africa by the European Powers reposes upon certain fundamental principles, which, if set aside, must inevitably lead to the adoption of an alternate policy profoundly immoral in itself, maintainable by force alone, and bound in the long run to prove economically and politically disastrous.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
