Description
""Red Rubber: The Story of the Rubber Slave Trade Flourishing on the Congo in the Year of Grace 1907"" is a book written by Edmund Dene Morel and first published in 1907. The book exposes the atrocities committed by the Belgian colonial government in the Congo Free State, which was under the personal rule of King Leopold II of Belgium. Morel describes how rubber was extracted from the Congo's rainforests using forced labor, including children and women who were subjected to brutal treatment, torture, and murder. The book also details the corruption and greed of the Belgian officials and explores the complicity of European powers in the exploitation of Africa. ""Red Rubber"" is a powerful indictment of colonialism and a call for justice and human rights. The book played a significant role in raising public awareness of the Congo atrocities and ultimately led to international pressure on Belgium to reform its policies in the Congo.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1907 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
