One of America’s most prolific sculptors of public monuments, Daniel Chester French created more than a hundred public works, including *The Minuteman Man*, Harvard University’s *John Harvard**, Columbia University’s *Alma Mater*, and most famously, the statue of Abraham Lincoln for the awe-inspiring Lincoln Memorial. Born in 1850 and raised in Concord, Massachusetts, in the tumult of the Civil War, French’s meteoric ascent as an artist led him to cross paths with some of the most fascinating characters of his time, such as Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Auguste Rodin, and Theodore Roosevelt. In addition to his work as an artist, French was a trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1903 until his death in 1931 and was a key figure in the acquisition of the museum’s extensive collection of American sculpture. *Monument Man* is the first definitive biography of Daniel Chester French, giving readers a captivating and extensively researched view into his world. Eminent historian Harold Holzer, winner of the 2015 Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize, brings French's story to life, vividly illustrating his personal and artistic development within the dynamic cultural milieu at the turn of the twentieth century, from the vibrant creative community of Concord to the bucolic gardens of Chesterwood, French's country estate and studio in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Full of rich biographical detail and beatiful archival photographs, *Monument Man* is a sweeping study of a major artist whose evolution ran parallel to, and deeply influenced, the development of American sculpture, iconography, and historic memory.

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 1960 The degree to which the late colonial era affected Europe has been 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 mémoire 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 in which 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.
