Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a historical text, delves into the heart of a significant era in Central African history. The author examines in detail the legal basis upon which a colonizing power, under the guise of advancing civilization, stripped indigenous communities of their birthright - their land and its valuable produce - and replaced it with an oppressive, exploitative system that persists today. Using a wealth of historical evidence, the author demonstrates that native rights and ownership of land were never relinquished or abandoned, as has been claimed, but rather forcibly seized. This deeply researched account sheds new light on the struggle for justice and preservation of cultural heritage in Africa, and powerfully illustrates the devastating consequences of colonial powers abusing their power in pursuit of economic gain.
