Synopsis

Roger Casement's revolutionary fire was lit in the Congo where he saw at first hand some of the worst abuses of the colonial project. The fire burned hotter in Brazil, where he gradually became convinced that exploitation and abuse were inextricably linked with the exercise of imperial power.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Angus Mitchell has traced Roger Casement’s movements and paper trails across London, Belfast, Dublin, Berlin, New York, and the far reaches of Africa and South America for over three decades, unearthing inconvenient truths from the archive’s buried recesses. His groundbreaking editions of Casement’s writings – The Amazon Journal of Roger Casement, Sir Roger Casement’s Heart of Darkness: The 1911 Documents, and One Bold Deed of Open Treason: The Berlin Diary of Roger Casement 1914–16 – have reframed scholarly understanding of one of the modern world’s most enigmatic revolutionary intellectuals, and recovered essential perspectives on empire, the archive, decolonisation, and humanitarian activism. He is equally committed to critical pedagogy and his role as a public historian, using film and exhibition curation to challenge academic consensus and bring secret histories to wider audiences. 

Mitchell’s research has appeared in the Journal of Victorian Culture, Women's History Review, Irish Historical Studies, The Scottish Historical Review, and the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Latin American History. He lives in Ireland.
