Red Rubber: The Story Of The Rubber Slave Trade Flourishing On The Congo In The Year Of Grace 1907 is a book written by Edmund Dene Morel. It was published in 1907 and provides a detailed account of the rubber slave trade that was taking place in the Congo during that time. The book sheds light on the brutal treatment of the Congolese people who were forced into labor to collect rubber for the Belgian colonial government. Morel highlights the atrocities committed by the colonial authorities, including the use of violence and torture to extract rubber from the workers. The book also explores the complicity of the British government and other European powers in allowing the slave trade to continue. Red Rubber is an important historical document that exposes the dark side of European colonialism and the exploitation of African people for economic gain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
