Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book serves up an account of a courageous solo journey by a woman setting out to explore the Belgian Congo in 1909, a time shrouded in controversy regarding human rights abuses. Assuming the role of a lady's maid, the author infiltrates the Belgian Congo undetected, later revealing her true intentions. The author's travelogue captures honest impressions of life in the Congo and provides valuable perspectives on the atrocities that plagued its people. This book poses the question of whether the Belgian Congo's atrocities truly occurred and to what extent. It functions as a historical record of the atrocities, offering a firsthand account of the atrocities by a careful observer on the scene in that era. Through the author's keen observations and conversations with the people she meets, the book delves into the complex themes of colonial oppression and the resilience of the human spirit. It sheds light on the often-overlooked experiences of women during this period, challenging prevailing narratives and expanding our understanding of the region's history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
