Racism in Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing racism in Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness”. Joseph Conrad’s novella “Heart of Darkness” (1901) is highly controversial in regards to its racist perspective towards the African native. Although “darkness” within the story is also used to describe the darkness within all men and societies, even those within England and Europe, overall Conrad, through the character of Marlow whose background is very much like his own, shows the racist perspective which was generally accepted at the time in that Africans were considered “prehistoric”, “frenzied” and the environment in which they lived appeared “unearthly” and at times the natives appeared to be nearly “inhuman” in their differences and contrasts to the white man. Europeans, on the other hand, while they may have apparent elements of darkness within, are described in terms of purity, fairness, orderliness, and are civilized and those who, including Conrad, can only appreciate the African native in his own environment but in no means could extend that appreciation beyond that in comparison with Europeans and European society; a racist attitude which was reflected by Conrad within the story. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Relocating Bushmen from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve
[ send me this essay ]
This 10 page report discusses the Bushmen or San of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) in Botswana. The CKGR was created in 1961 with the purpose of “protecting” an endangered species -- not an animal but the San Bushmen. The reserve was established to provide a home for the Bushmen in their ‘natural environment’, the only place they were able to survive. But in order to develop both tourism and mining potential, the government of Botswana has been taking action with the intention of relocating the San to settlements that sound suspiciously like the “reservations” of North America’s own indigenous peoples. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
