Is Joseph Conrad a Racist and Does His Work Portray It?

He tilted from his hand, then sat under the sun, crossed the calf in front of him, and after a while his wool's head fell to his breastbone. (Conrad, 2011, p.32) Marlow depicts a reader who tells him that horror of imperialism and black humanity does not exist. They really died of Marlow's eyes due to depletion and hunger. Mahlow said further: "When I fell, one of these creatures climbed into his hands and knees and drove to the river with his limbs" (Conrad, 2011, p.32) He was shocked that he could not regard them as conditions of perfect humanity.

Among the various controversies surrounding Conrad 's work, the most famous thing was caused by Nigerian writer Chinuakobe. In his essay "The image of Africa: racial discrimination in Conrad's dark heart", he believes that "Joseph Conrad is a thorough racist" (260). The influence as a place is definitely evident in the spiritual grace situation of Europe itself "(261). He said that Conrad represented Africa as "another world", that is, opposition to Europe and opposition to civilization (253), thereby acknowledging that Conrad was disgusted by blacks. The issue of racial discrimination has caused controversy, is ongoing, and given the political and social situation where he is located, this is absolutely inevitable.

There is much debate about Joseph Conrad and his work. The question at the beginning is "Is Joseph Conrad doing against imperialism or opposing it?" I think that Joseph Conrad can oppose imperialism after reading Al Messia's foolishness and other books reserved. Joseph Conrad, using his books and other works, did not become an abandoned society but was potentially talking about his view on imperialism. In introducing Joseph Conrad's historical guide, I read how the authors were shaped by their environment and their historical and cultural environment. This supports Conrad's behavior as if it is an insider and an imperialist but secretly he felt he was a social outsider and had the same view as others Absent.
