“There's another great book on the Congo by David van Rijbroek. A lot of it based on oral history.”
Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: Colonialism in Congo
For: Listeners interested in colonial history and its consequences.
Key quote: “And today's episode will be quite a dark subject.”
The host mentions the book 'Congo' to draw parallels between Joseph Conrad's experiences and the historical atrocities committed in the Congo Free State under King Leopold II. This reference serves to emphasize the dark realities of colonialism and its lasting impact on the region.
