- Abstract
I Rossinelli, F.: Géographie et impérialisme: de la Suisse au Congo entre exploration géographique et conquête coloniale. In the fourth part of the book, Rossinelli explores how Swiss geographic societies supported one of the largest colonial projects in Africa: that of the former Belgian Congo. Rossinelli demonstrates how Switzerland's geographic associations contributed to imperialistic ideologies and created a pressure from within Switzerland to participate in colonization projects in Africa in particular.
