«Afrikanische Totenklage» is the historical-political essay by Peter Scholl-Latour, published by Bertelsmann in hardback (472 pages, in German).
Almost half a century after his first major report, Peter Scholl-Latour again travels through southern, western and central Africa. He contrasts what he sees with his 1956 journey, when the continent was still under colonial rule, and portrays a present of hunger, violence and plunder that evokes Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness'.
The book bears the subtitle «Der Ausverkauf des Schwarzen Kontinents» and was published in September 2001.
Aimed at readers interested in African history, politics and society.
Peter Roman Scholl-Latour was a French-German journalist, author and reporter. Scholl-Latour was regarded as one of Europe's most important journalists, akin to what Walter Cronkite was in the US. For over six decades, he was one of the continent's most influential voices. During the Vietnam War, he was captured by the Viet Cong and managed to secure unique film footage during his captivity.
