I've only read Heart of Darkness and even I can tell OP is full of shit. The whole fucking point of that story was that the white people were exactly the same as the Africans it was only beautiful illusion that is civilization that separated them.

It's really a wonderfully anti-racist book and it's a shame it's been dragged through the mud just for depicting Africans as not having a civilization. Which is a true criticism (though not as true as the people making it believe) but not one with real merit since there's no fucking way Conrad could have known that at the time and it's fucking fictional anyway just imagine that Kurtz found an uncontacted tribe that didn't have a civilization Jesus is that so hard, fuck I hate people.

If you liked Heart of Darkness you really ought to read Lord Jim.

Civilization can't be a illusion if it's something with real implications and the white and the negro can't be the same if they are different, but to respect each other accepting these truths is another thing. Get away with your marxist and revisionist view of the book, undergrad retard. OP is right.

wut

He was right though. Did you actually read the book?

The novel was about romanticism more than it was about colonialism, and even then it was still critical of colonialism.

What is this gutter trash? Inflict hegemony? Explain how a character's "white superiority" inflicts hegemony?

Conrad in general but Lord Jim specifically have been huge influences on my writing. I agree with all of your points accept that bit bait-ier one at the top there, OP.
