Sinopsis

''Free Rum On The Congo: And What It Is Doing There'' is a non-fiction book written by William Temple Hornaday in 1887. The book explores the impact of alcohol on the Congo region of Africa during the late 19th century. Hornaday, an American zoologist and conservationist, traveled to the Congo to study wildlife and became alarmed by the widespread use of alcohol among the local population. He believed that the availability of free or cheap alcohol was contributing to the region?s poverty, violence, and social decay. In the book, Hornaday describes his observations of the Congo people and their culture, as well as the effects of alcohol on their lives. He argues that the European traders who introduced alcohol to the region were exploiting the Congolese for profit, and that the practice should be stopped. He also suggests that the Congolese people should be educated about the dangers of alcohol and encouraged to adopt healthier lifestyles. Overall, ''Free Rum On The Congo: And What It Is Doing There'' is a passionate and insightful look at the social and economic issues facing the Congo during the colonial era. It sheds light on the devastating effects of alcohol on a vulnerable population and advocates for social justice and reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
