Jennifer RICHARD, Il est à toi ce beau pays.

Large récit qui met en parallèle la condition des Noirs américains et la colonisation de l' #Afrique centrale. Écriture simple et efficace.

Cette fresque serait captivante si elle n'était truffée de petites erreurs historiques et d'anachronismes des plus irritants.

'Finding ways of limiting Africans’ advancement was central to #Belgium’s strategy for sustaining its dominance over a land so rich in resources that it was often called a “geological scandal.” '

Been listening to #ColumMcCann perform his novel #Twist.

And I hear in interviews that he sees it relating to #JosephConrad's #TheHeartOfDarkness.

And I find that I've somehow missed that The Heart of Darkness is set in the horror of the #BelgianCongo genocides.

So next to listen to Conrad's book.
