Joseph Conrad's Empathy for Exploited Africans in "The Heart of Darkness."
Farley, Ena L.
Western Journal of Black Studies, v14 n4 p224-30 Win 1990
Seemingly contradictory positions of J. Conrad as both a racist and an opponent of race-based imperial practices are discussed with reference to "The Heart of Darkness." It is argued that Conrad made a conscious effort to shake off the racial theories of the time and to deplore imperial racism. (SLD)
