"Van Brussel naar Karema: Geschiedenis eener Belgische Kolonie in Midden-Afrika" by A.-J. Wauters is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work illuminates Belgium's contributions to the exploration and colonization of Central Africa, focusing on the International African Association, founded under King Leopold II. The narrative details the journeys of Belgian explorers and their encounters, highlighting their attempts to stake a claim in a region remarkable for its unfamiliar terrain and cultures. The opening of the book introduces the establishment of the International African Association in September 1876, which aimed to promote exploration and civilization efforts in Central Africa. It describes the notable figures involved in the conference held in Brussels, discussing the logistics and goals of the ventures into Africa. As it progresses, we follow the preparations for the first expedition and the challenges the explorers face, such as the recruitment of porters and the financial considerations of their undertaking, setting a vivid scene for the adventures and struggles to come.
