In his essay titled "An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness'" interrogates the stereotyped manner of the portrayal of Africans in Conrad's book. <em>He felt that Conrad being an outsider can never feel the true pain and worth of the struggle and suffering of the Africans and he(Conrad) had further added to their domain of treating them(Africans) as savage instead of portraying it in its natural form.
