Abstract

"Humor and Violence examines the rich history of portraying Europeans in Central African art in images ranging from heart-wrenching scenes of human trafficking to playful parodies of colonialists. Z. S. Strother contends that the dialectic of humor and violence reveals deep insights into the psychology of power and resistance that continues to operate in the region today. Her argument is built on a set of works of art and demonstrates the important role that patronage and political and social history played in their creation. Strother conveys Central African ideas about how the therapeutic power of humor can initiate social change and upset power relations between oppressors and oppressed. This analysis plunges seemingly benign figures into a maelstrom of violence and crime -- rape, murder, torture, and forced labor on a massive scale. By restoring the dialectic of humor, this study reveals the complicated psychological codependency of Africans and Europeans over a long period of history and maintains that art plays a mediating function in the mechanics and ethics of power."--Front cover flap.

Abstract

Dit boek levert een eerste aanzet tot het in kaart brengen van de Vlaamse gemeenschap in Belgisch Congo na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. In het eerste deel staat vooral de invloed van Vlaamsgezindheid op Congolese culturen, etniciteiten en talen centraal. In het tweede deel van het boek wordt de aandacht verschoven naar het post-koloniale Vlaanderen. Tijdens de koloniale periode dachten Nederlandstaligen dat zij minder racistisch waren tegenover Congolezen dan Franstaligen. In het post-koloniale België hoort men vaak beweren dat Nederlandstaligen racistischer zijn dan Franstaligen, hoewel als voorwerp van dat racisme eerder moslimimmigranten en hun afstammelingen worden vernoemd dan Congolezen. Het boek analyseert racisme als een meervoudig, complex fenomeen in relatie met de verschillende politieke en economische machtsverhoudingen in het koloniale Congo en het post-koloniale Vlaanderen.

Abstract

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).
