Synopsis

Morel's life and work come vividly to life in this definitive study of a tireless reformer whose efforts helped shape Africa policy and anti-slavery action.

It shows how his campaigns connected humanitarian ideals to political action, and how his ideas influenced debates on empire, trade, and native rights. Readers will see the development of his views from early activism to his later calls for greater accountability in international policy, all grounded in his commitment to justice and self-government for African communities.

• An accessible overview of the Congo Reform movement and key figures of the era.
• Clear explanations of complex policies, including debates over imperial power and native rights.
