Congo 1885-1960 - Development of a Modern State ?

This book constitutes the collective response of the authors to all those who strive to give by their words, their writings and their images, a false image of the Belgians in the Congo, whether at the time of the Congo Free State from 1885 to 1908 or during the time of the Belgian Congo from 1908 to 1960. Those who are seriously interested in Belgian colonial history note the lack of objectivity, or even the lack of knowledge, of many others who today, under the guise of a " self-qualified work of historical research motivated by a duty to remember " publish articles and books or produce films on this period.
