Beschreibung:
For one hundred years Heart of Darkness has been among the most widely read and taught novels in the English language. Hailed as an incisive indictment of European imperialism in Africa upon its publication in 1899, in recent years it has been repeatedly denounced as racist and imperialist.Peter Firchow is the first to counter these claims. His rational, carefully argued response allows the charges of Conrad's alleged bias to be evaluated as objectively as possible. He begins by contrasting the meanings of race, racism, and imperialism in Conrad's day to those of our own time. He then responds in detail to negative interpretations of the novel by revealing what they distort, misconstrue, or fail to take into account.
