In the 1880s, as the European powers were carving up Africa, King Leopold II of Belgium seized for himself the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. Carrying out a genocidal plundering of the Congo, he looted its rubber, brutalized its people, and ultimately slashed its population by ten million -- all the while shrewdly cultivating his reputation as a great humanitarian. Heroic efforts to expose these crimes eventually led to the first great human rights movement of the twentieth century, in which everyone from Mark Twain to the Archbishop of Canterbury participated. King Leopold's Ghost is the account of a megalomaniac of monstrous proportions, a man as cunning, charming, and cruel as any of the great Shakespearean villains. It is also the portrait of those who fought Leopold: a brave handful of missionaries, travelers, and young idealists who went to Africa for work or adventure and unexpectedly found themselves witnesses to a holocaust. Adam Hochschild brings this story alive. He knows that history often provides a far richer cast of characters than any novelist could invent. Chief among them is Edmund Morel, a young British shipping agent who went on to lead the international crusade against Leopold. Another hero of this tale, the Irish patriot Roger Casement, ended his life on a London gallows. Two courageous black Americans, George Washington Williams and William Sheppard, risked much to bring evidence of the Congo atrocities to the outside world. Sailing into the middle of the story was a young Congo River steamboat officer named Joseph Conrad. And looming above them all, the duplicitous billionaire King Leopold II.

Dit boek levert een eerste aanzet tot het in kaart brengen van de Vlaamse gemeenschap in Belgisch Congo na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. In het eerste deel staat vooral de invloed van Vlaamsgezindheid op Congolese culturen, etniciteiten en talen centraal. In het tweede deel van het boek wordt de aandacht verschoven naar het post-koloniale Vlaanderen. Tijdens de koloniale periode dachten Nederlandstaligen dat zij minder racistisch waren tegenover Congolezen dan Franstaligen. In het post-koloniale België hoort men vaak beweren dat Nederlandstaligen racistischer zijn dan Franstaligen, hoewel als voorwerp van dat racisme eerder moslimimmigranten en hun afstammelingen worden vernoemd dan Congolezen. Het boek analyseert racisme als een meervoudig, complex fenomeen in relatie met de verschillende politieke en economische machtsverhoudingen in het koloniale Congo en het post-koloniale Vlaanderen.
