520 $a "Belgium was a small, neutral country without a colonial tradition when King Leopold II cededthe Congo, his personal property, to the state in 1908. For the next half-century Belgium not only ruled an African empire but also, through widespread, enduring, and eagerly embraced propaganda, produced an imperialist-minded citizenry. Selling the Congo isa study of European pro-empire propagandain Belgium, with particular emphasis on the period 1908-60. Matthew G. Stanard questions the natureof Belgian imperialism in the Congo and considers the Belgian case in light of literature on the French, British, and other European overseasempires. Comparing Belgium to other imperial powers, the book finds that pro-empire propaganda was a basic part of European overseas expansion and administration during the modern period. Arguing against the long-held belief that Belgians were merely "reluctant imperialists," Stanard demonstrates that in fact many Belgians readily embraced imperialistic propaganda. Selling the Congo contributes to our understanding of theeffectiveness of twentieth-centurypropaganda by revealing its successes and failures in the Belgian case. Many readers familiar with more-popular histories of Belgian imperialism will find in this book a deeper examination of European involvement in central Africa during the colonial era"-- $c Provided by publisher.
