Il presente volume si propone di esaminare la regione del Congo alla fine del XIX secolo: un territorio vastissimo, ricco di risorse naturali, ma gravato da enormi difficoltà logistiche e da una popolazione in larga parte estranea ai ritmi del lavoro organizzato e dello sviluppo economico. In questo contesto si avvicendarono tre entità statali tra loro affini, accomunate da pratiche inizialmente abusive, che contribuirono a fare del Congo una delle esperienze coloniali più dure e controverse nel panorama mondiale dell'epoca.
Come una autentica macchina del tempo, l'opera consente di tornare alle condizioni di vita di quel periodo e di coglierne le cause più profonde, tra forti tensioni e primi segnali di progresso, chiarendo le origini delle attuali realtà statuali. La narrazione non si limita a una descrizione geografica o etnografica, ma entra nel merito delle complesse dinamiche politiche, economiche e interetniche che segnarono questo passaggio cruciale della storia regionale.
La collana di storia coloniale propone una serie di opere riscritte, aggiornate e rese più accessibili al lettore contemporaneo. Si tratta di testi celebri tradotti dagli scritti originali di narratori vissuti oltre un secolo fa, che poterono osservare direttamente la realtà dei Paesi allora segnati dalla presenza europea. Ne emerge un quadro concreto di società che, pur trasformate, conservano ancora oggi gli effetti di quella stagione storica: benefici sanitari, tecnologici, educativi ed economici che si proiettano fino al presente. La serie comprenderà anche volumi dedicati ad altre ex colonie francesi, britanniche, portoghesi ed olandesi.
