Description

“Tintin in the Congo” is a comic book created by Belgian cartoonist Hergé, first published in 1931. The book is part of the “Adventures of Tintin” series and follows Tintin, a young reporter, as he travels to the Belgian Congo to report on the country and its people.

The book has been criticized for its depiction of Congolese people and its colonialist attitudes. The Congolese characters are shown as primitive and childlike, and the book reinforces racist stereotypes about African people. The book also depicts scenes of hunting and violence against animals and portrays colonialism as a positive force for modernization.

In later years, Hergé acknowledged the book’s problematic aspects and expressed regret for its portrayal of Congolese people. The book has been controversial and has been the subject of debate and discussion about the portrayal of race and colonialism in children’s literature. Some editions of the book have included a disclaimer or a note explaining its historical context and its problematic aspects.
