Abstract	This teacher resource book and student text is part of a continuing series on current and historical international issues, placing special emphasis on the importance of educating students in their participatory role as citizens. The unit draws students into the international debate about how to respond to the imperialism that brutally disfigured the Congo in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. After examining the nature of pre-colonial central African societies, students use primary and secondary readings to develop an understanding of how European power politics contributed to one of the most shocking examples of European colonization in Africa. While the history of the Congo Free State, later the Belgian Congo, is atypical of European imperialism of this era, this unit confronts students with a dramatic story that provides the foundation for assessing the moral, political, cultural, and economic issues raised by colonialism in general. This unit examines the roles played by private citizens in mobilizing a grassroots human rights movement. Students have the opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of both governmental and non-governmental actors in effecting changes in official policies. Materials are included to help students understand how the colonial experience has shaped events in the Congo Basin throughout the post-colonial era. The teacher's book includes five- and three-day lesson plans. (BT)
