Een vakantie in Congo zit er voor weinig Belgen in. Te riskant, te duur en te beperkte rondreismogelijkheden. Maar in België naar Congo reizen: dat kan je al wandelend en met het openbaar vervoer. Dat is te danken aan Congolees erfgoed dat hier is bewaard gebleven. Dit boek vertelt het verhaal achter de monumenten en ander koloniaal erfgoed. Het is een tocht door heel ons land, van Aarlen tot Blankenberge, van Diksmuide tot Luik, en van Antwerpen en Brussel tot Gent en Oostende. Lucas Catherine voorziet de officiële koloniale geschiedschrijving van een historisch correcte voetnoot en helpt je die geschiedschrijving waar nodig van zijn voetstuk te halen. Hij maakt ook de balans op van de acties tegen koloniale monumenten en vertelt waarom we onze koloniale geschiedenis moeten herschrijven. Een andere visie op ons koloniaal verleden, want de kolonisatie heeft niet alleen massa’s mensen vermoord, de koloniale geschiedschrijving heeft ook vaak de waarheid vermoord.

Thought-provoking reflection on culture, colonialism, and the remainders of empire in Belgium after 1960The degree to which the late colonial era affected Europe has been for long underappreciated, and only recently have European countries started to acknowledge not having come to terms with decolonisation. In Belgium, the past two decades have witnessed a growing awareness of the controversial episodes in the country’s colonial past. This volume examines the long-term effects and legacies of the colonial era on Belgium after 1960, the year the Congo gained its independence, and calls into question memories of the colonial past by focusing on the meaning and place of colonial monuments in public space.The book foregrounds the enduring presence of “empire” in everyday Belgian life in the form of permanent colonial markers in bronze and stone, lieux de mémoires of the country’s history of overseas expansion. By means of photographs and explanations of major pro-colonial memorials, as well as several obscure ones, the book reveals the surprising degree to which Belgium became infused with a colonialist spirit during the colonial era.Another key component of the analysis is an account of the varied ways that both Dutch- and French-speaking Belgians approached the colonial past after 1960, treating memorials variously as objects of veneration, with indifference, or as symbols to be attacked or torn down. The book provides a thought-provoking reflection on culture, colonialism, and the remainders of empire in Belgium after 1960.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer Review Content).
