Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating account of an expedition undertaken by the author and his companions through the Congo's Kasai basin during the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of European colonialism in Africa, the narrative chronicles their journey through lush, uncharted territories inhabited by a diverse array of indigenous tribes. The author meticulously documents their interactions with these communities, providing valuable insights into their customs, beliefs, and daily lives. The book delves into the heart of the equatorial forest, where the author encounters the enigmatic Bushongo people renowned for their intricate woodcarvings and intricate social structures. Through firsthand observations and extensive conversations with local informants, the author sheds light on practices such as ritual dances and the role of the king. Beyond the forest, the expedition ventured into the realm of the Batetela, known for their fierce reputation as warriors. The author provides a nuanced portrayal of their complex society and the challenges they faced amidst the encroachment of European influence. The narrative also explores the impact of the Kasai Company, a major commercial enterprise, on the lives of the local populations. Through its vivid descriptions, the book offers a glimpse into a world on the cusp of transformation. The author's keen eye for detail and his deep respect for the people he encountered make this account an invaluable contribution to the understanding of Central African history and the rich tapestry of its cultures.
