JUNGLE FEVER

Denby's JUNGLE FEVER attack at "The Heart of Darkness", is pure ingenious. He discusses the novel on a collegiate level, which allows a lot student to discuss different view points about the British imperialism in Africa. The two students who have different viewpoint on the book are apparently from different ethnic backgrounds. This sort of makes the discussion very interesting. JUNGLE FEVER clearly distinguishes how "The Heart Of Darkness" and its author is racist. It does this by allowing the reader to envision the quotes from the book. Carefully selected quotes allow the reader to aknowledge the fact that Conrad describes the africans as primates.
