Weeks is a detailed historical account written in the early 20th century. The work recounts the author's extensive experiences over thirty years among the Boloki and other tribes in the Congo, providing insight into their customs, beliefs, and practices. It offers a glimpse into the lives of these tribes, focusing particularly on their attitudes towards morality, superstition, and cultural practices, as well as the author's reflections on their interactions with European colonizers. The opening of the book sets the stage for Weeks' journey into the Congo, detailing his preparations as he embarks on a mission to establish a site for missionary work. He shares anecdotes about the local tribes, illustrating both their apprehension towards white visitors and the misunderstandings that arise from cultural differences. The author emphasizes the fears held by the natives, stemming from prior hostile encounters with white men, and describes the initial challenges he faces, from hostile responses to his presence to the complexities of language and communication. By showcasing his growing familiarity with the tribes and their culture, Weeks lays the groundwork for a deeper exploration of life among the Boloki and the challenges inherent in cross-cultural interactions.
