À propos de ce livre

The Congo became one of the most profitable territories in the colonial world precisely because human life there was treated as expendable. Behind the language of civilization and humanitarian progress stood a system designed to maximize the extraction of rubber and ivory through terror, coercion, and relentless quotas. This book examines the economic machinery of the Congo Free State under the personal rule of King Leopold II of Belgium. Armed colonial agents enforced production demands across vast regions where local communities were compelled into labor through hostage-taking, violence, and starvation. Entire villages became tied to global industrial demand for rubber during the rapid expansion of modern manufacturing. The narrative also documents the methods of punishment used to maintain control. Amputations, executions, and collective reprisals formed part of a broader structure intended to enforce obedience through fear. Population collapse followed as disease, forced displacement, and systematic brutality spread throughout the region. Colonial exploitation appears here not as administrative failure or isolated cruelty, but as an economic system in which violence itself became infrastructure for imperial profit.
