Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belgian Congo and the Berlin Act It is the aim of this work to examine in the crucial instance of the history of the Independent State of the Congo the defects of the Berlin Act, and to indicate the amendments which must be made in that international compact if it is to serve the high purposes for which it was destined, the extension to central Africa of the benefits of civilization and freedom of trade. This limitation of purpose has involved the omission in the historical sketch of the vivid detail of individual heroism and achievement in which the record of the Congo State abounds, but it has also justified the decision not to enter into particulars of the acts of cruelty committed upon natives under the State regime. The exposure of these crimes was a public duty, honourably fulfilled in England, during the period of the agitation to secure the reform of the administration, but since Belgium, under King Albert, has accepted in principle all the reforms urged by Viscount Grey, it is permissible to refrain from entering minutely into the investigation of these deplorable events.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Belgian Congo The Belgian Congo is situated in the basin of the Congo in Equatorial Africa, and lies between the parallels of 5 20' N. And 13 40' S., and between the meridians of 12 10' E. And 31c, > 30' E. Its area is estimated at square miles. The original idea in the foundation of the Congo Indepen dent State was that it Should include the whole basin of the Congo, but various political circumstances have restricted the present Belgian colony within somewhat narrower limits. On the northern frontier all the land drained by the right bank tributaries of the Bomu, the Ubangi, and the Congo as far' as the Cataracts belongs either to French Equa'torial Africa or to the Cameroons. 'below Manyanga, however, Belgian territory extends to the right bank of the Congo, and includes not only the drainage area of that river, but part of that of the Chiloango, as well as the basins of several smaller streams which ﬂow directly to the Atlantic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Belgium: With a Chapter on the Congo Free State Dear Sir Henry, In placing your name in the front of this sketch of Belgium's history, I should at the same time "show cause" why the little volume was written. The explanation is really very simple. Three years ago, when I went to live in Brussels, I looked in vain for a compendious history of Belgium. There was nothing in English, and nothing really very good in French. Imagining that some of my compatriots might feel a like need, I devoted my leisure time to studying the authorities with the view of trying to supply that want. The book, consequently, pretends to no originality of research. Its one aim is to occupy a place that was "to let." Beyond the works cited in the course of the narrative, I desire to express my particular indebtedness to, of course, the imperishable pages of Motley, and the equally learned, if less brilliant, volumes of that eminent Belgian historian, M. T. Juste, and the "Histoire des Beiges et de leur civilisation" of M. V. Mirguet. For the chapter dealing with Belgium in Africa, I am a borrower from the "Publications de l'Etat Independant du Congo," and from your own invaluable works.

This group was commonly known as the pygmy group, though but four out of the nine members composing it made claims to be such. The group was brought by Mr. S. P. Verner, at one time missionary to the Congo, who was engaged by the exposition to make a special journey into central Africa to procure it. Four members of the group were Batua, the others were large blacks representing the Bakuba and Baluba. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Mr. Morgan repeats the account we have heard from Mr. Stanley and Mr. Johnston, that 5000 miles of navigable rivers are accessible from Stanley Pool. The difficulties that would beset philanthropists, missionaries, travellers, and merchants in gaining the navigable part of the river were remarked upon by Mr. Waller, and Mr. H. H. Johnston in reference to the so-called liberal terms at present in vogue in Mozambique, said, those who knew anything of Mozambique would think that the terms were rather illiteral than otherwise. He, therefore, thought it a very unfortunate thing if Portugal was allowed to occupy Landana and Banana (at the mouth of the Congo), the two points which would affect the Congo in the future. It is important to put this Opinion Of Mr. Johnston clearly forward, -, for he has been sup posed to be an advocate, or at least an apologist, for the treaty. We shall refer to his views again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Belgium was a small, neutral country without a colonial tradition when King Leopold II ceded the Congo, his personal property, to the state in 1908. For the next half century Belgium not only ruled an African empire but also, through widespread, enduring, and eagerly embraced propaganda, produced an imperialist-minded citizenry. Selling the Congo is a study of European pro-empire propaganda in Belgium, with particular emphasis on the period 1908–60. Matthew G. Stanard questions the nature of Belgian imperialism in the Congo and considers the Belgian case in light of literature on the French, British, and other European overseas empires. Comparing Belgium to other imperial powers, the book finds that pro-empire propaganda was a basic part of European overseas expansion and administration during the modern period. Arguing against the long-held belief that Belgians were merely “reluctant imperialists,” Stanard demonstrates that in fact many Belgians readily embraced imperialistic propaganda. Selling the Congo contributes to our understanding of the effectiveness of twentieth-century propaganda by revealing its successes and failures in the Belgian case. Many readers familiar with more-popular histories of Belgian imperialism will find in this book a deeper examination of European involvement in central Africa during the colonial era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ira Berlin traces the history of African-American slavery in the United States from its beginnings in the seventeenth century to its fiery demise nearly three hundred years later. Most Americans, black and white, have a singular vision of slavery, one fixed in the mid-nineteenth century when most American slaves grew cotton, resided in the deep South, and subscribed to Christianity. Here, however, Berlin offers a dynamic vision, a major reinterpretation in which slaves and their owners continually renegotiated the terms of captivity. Slavery was thus made and remade by successive generations of Africans and African Americans who lived through settlement and adaptation, plantation life, economic transformations, revolution, forced migration, war, and ultimately, emancipation. Berlin's understanding of the processes that continually transformed the lives of slaves makes Generations of Captivity essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of antebellum America. Connecting the Charter Generation to the development of Atlantic society in the seventeenth century, the Plantation Generation to the reconstruction of colonial society in the eighteenth century, the Revolutionary Generation to the Age of Revolutions, and the Migration Generation to American expansionism in the nineteenth century, Berlin integrates the history of slavery into the larger story of American life. He demonstrates how enslaved black people, by adapting to changing circumstances, prepared for the moment when they could seize liberty and declare themselves the Freedom Generation. This epic story, told by a master historian, provides a rich understanding of the experience of African-American slaves, an experience that continues to mobilize American thought and passions today.
