Rock-Breakers: Kingdom Building In Kongo Land (1922) is a historical and anthropological book written by Peter Hugh James Lerrigo. The book provides a detailed account of the Kongo kingdom, which was located in central Africa during the 15th and 16th centuries. Lerrigo describes the kingdom's political, social, and economic structures, as well as its religious and cultural practices. He also examines the impact of European colonization on the Kongo people and their way of life. The title of the book refers to the Kongo people's tradition of breaking rocks to create paths and clear land, which Lerrigo uses as a metaphor for the kingdom's struggle to adapt to changing circumstances. Overall, Rock-Breakers is a fascinating and informative study of a little-known African civilization and its place in world history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
