Rape of the Congo
Hochschild, Adam
New York Review of Books, August 13, 2009, v56, #13, online edition
In this article Adam Hochschild emphasizes four major factors that continuously cause conflict in Congo: long-standing antagonism between certain ethnic groups, the 1994 Rwandan genocide, vast wealth in natural resources, and lastly, a vast population--65 million--in an area as big as the United States east of the Mississippi.
Hochschild writes for The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, The New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, and The Nation.
