The voice of Africa Being an account of the travels of the German inner African exploration expedition in the years 1910-1912

Abstract

The fact remains that have so far not succeeded in making the unusually valuable African race adopt our instinctive feeling for civilization on a sound basis, a race which amply justice its own existence both by its inherent vitality and essential characteristics. This much however is perfectly certain, namely that if an unhealthy and dangerous condition of things prevails in America and the west coast of Africa there can be only one way of studying its originating cause, overcoming this and replacing it by a new condition of things: only one way, which I must always insist upon pointing out to the powers of Europe and particular to the governing circles in America, and this is the most natural way in the world.
