Requests:  0 Summary:  An "alternate history novel that explores the question of what might have come of Belgium's ... colonization of the Congo if the native populations had learned about steam technology a bit earlier"--Amazon.com. Fabian Socialists from Great Britain join forces with African-American missionaries to purchase land from the Belgian Congo's "owner," King Leopold II. This land, named Everfair, is set aside as a safe haven, an imaginary Utopia for native populations of the Congo as well as escaped slaves returning from America and other places where African natives were being mistreated. As the native populations adopt advances in steam technology as their own, an uneasy truce between the country's many factions leads to a revolt against Leopold's harsh reign.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Shawl   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Science Fiction Shawl [SciFi] Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Fiction Shawl   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
