TOFINO QUESADA, Iñaki. Stefan Szolc-Rogoziński: A Polish Traveler in the Gulf of Guinea. Estud. Asia Áfr. [online]. 2021, vol.56, n.1, pp.125-150.  Epub Feb 23, 2021. ISSN 2448-654X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eaa.v56i1.2633.

This paper reviews the texts published after Polish navy officer Stefan Szolc-Rogoziński’s expedition to the Gulf of Guinea (1882-1885) by two of its members and by his wife, and seeks to investigate the claims that this mission was intended to establish a Polish colony in Cameroon. It also studies the exchange of information in late-nineteenth-century geographical journals and its propagandistic role.

Keywords : Cameroon; Spanish Guinea; Poland; colonialism; colonial literature.
