Synopsis:
This book explores the Congo Free State under Leopold II (1885-1908) as a space of transnational encounter through an analysis of its representation across languages, media and cultures. It brings to light new considerations and help to better envision the impact memory and history may have on specific groups across Europe and Northern America.
