E. D. (Edmund Dene) Morel

درباره نویسنده

E. D. Morel was a British journalist, author, and anti-imperialist activist, best known for his relentless campaign against the atrocities committed in the Congo Free State under King Leopold II of Belgium. His seminal work, 'The Black Man's Burden,' highlighted the exploitation and suffering of the Congolese people, igniting public outrage and leading to significant international attention. Morel's writings were pivotal in shaping the discourse around colonialism and human rights during the early 20th century, as he exposed the brutal realities behind the veneer of progress that imperialism often presented.
