Book Description
Excerpt from A Bibliography of Congo Languages Our intention has been to confine this study to the geographical limits of the Congo Free State. A few articles dealing with African languages in general are included because the points therein discussed are applicable and interesting to the student of any Bantu tongue. Extra-limital Bantu works are for the most part excluded, but a few which treat of the whole family and one or two specific discussions are introduced, because they have been especially used by writers upon Congo languages and have had definite influence upon their studies. We have included Mbundu, although the language is largely extra limital to our field. This is because much early writing relative to the languages of this region does not clearly distinguish Mbundu and Kongo and because Mr. Bentley, in taking the language of San Salvador as the type of the Kongo proper has already entered the area of Angola. It has seemed well then to include all available references to Mbundu. The Swahili language is spoken over a large part of the Congo Free State as a trade language and many Swahili texts, for use in the neighbor hood Of Stanley Falls, have been prepared within the State by both Catholic and Protestant missionaries. We have therefore included in our list Swahili texts wherever published, even if intended specifically for use at Mombasa, Zanzibar, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Introductory Sketch of the Bantu Languages It may be as well to state that the languages at which I have worked in situ, that is to say, in the countries where they are spoken, are Nyanja, Swahili, Zulu, and, in a lesser degree, Giryama and Pokomo. Some others I have, to a certain extent, studied from the inside, with the help of books. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
The humanitarian movement against Leopold’s violent colonisation of the Congo emerged out of Europe, but it depended at every turn on African input. Individuals and groups from throughout the upper Congo River basin undertook journeys of daring and self-sacrifice to provide evidence of atrocities for the colonial authorities, missionaries, and international investigators. Combining archive research with attention to recent debates on the relation between imperialism and humanitarianism, on trauma, witnessing and postcolonial studies, and on the recovery of colonial archives, this book examines the conditions in which colonised peoples were able to speak about their subjection, and those in which attempts at testimony were thwarted. Robert Burroughs makes a major intervention by identifying African agency and input as a key factor in the Congo atrocities debate. This is an important and unique book in African history, imperial and colonial history, and humanitarian history.
