I can give it credit for its historical importance, as one of the first writings by a white author to bring attention to the deplorable horrors, genocide and violence of colonialism in Africa. However, this doesn’t mean it was good. In fact, I would hazard to say it was more dehumanising to the people it was attempting to uplift. What was even more perplexing was that the very man who had committed atrocities, that the whole plot line was apparently centred around, was then heralded as some kind of god, hero or virtuous man after his death, instead of the despot he was.
I don’t know, maybe I was simply not paying enough attention because I was severely bored, but I do not get it.
