Red Rubber - E D Morel - Bog

Red Rubber: The Story Of The Rubber Slave Trade Flourishing On The Congo In The Year Of Grace 1907 is a non-fiction book written by Edmund Dene Morel. The book was first published in 1907 and tells the story of the rubber slave trade that was rampant in the Congo during that time. The book sheds light on the atrocities committed by the Belgian colonial authorities in their quest for rubber, which was a valuable commodity at the time. The book is a scathing indictment of the Belgian colonial regime and exposes the brutal exploitation of the Congolese people who were forced to work in the rubber plantations. Morel, who was a British journalist and human rights activist, was one of the first people to speak out against the atrocities in the Congo and his book played a significant role in bringing international attention to the issue. The book is a powerful and moving account of one of the darkest chapters in the history of colonialism and remains an important work of historical and political significance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
