[edit] bias

This article presents a biased British colonial perspective. Its whole purpose is to redeem Stanley from the atrocities he committed in Africa and to attach these to Léopold. The impression is given that Stanley was forced by the Belgian king to set up his stations and bereave Africans of their land. Moreover, how can his propaganda for colonization of inner Africa be called a 'legacy', if all that resulted from his journees was death, exploitation, and destruction of cultures? otium 21.05.06

[edit] References

I can't believe an article of this length and depth doesn't cite a single reference. It's well written, but I just have no idea where this stuff is coming from.
