- Summary
- The British and American Congo Reform Movement (ca. 1890-1913) has been praised extensively for its 'heroic' confrontation of colonial atrocities in the Congo Free State. It's commitment to white supremacy and clolonial domination, however, continues to be overlooked, denied, or trivialised. This historical-socio-logical study argues that racism was the ideological cornerstone and formed the main agenda of this first major human rights campaign of the 20th century. -- adapted from back cover.
