That this particular perspective has thus far remained underexposed, or even disregarded, is all the more regrettable in light of the fact that the vast majority of Belgians who went to work in the African colony came from Flanders. 'The Congo in Flemish Literature' now represents a key step towards filling this lacuna by providing an overview of the different societal attitudes towards the colonial undertaking prevailing in Belgium during and after the colonial era, the way the relationship between Belgium and the Congo changed over time, subject to the zeitgeist and sociopolitical and economic developments, and the individual authors' varying points of view with regard to the colonisation. Flemish Congo prose offers a fascinating glimpse into Belgium?s colonial past and legacy, primarily during the colonial era, but also at the time of its violent aftermath following Congolese independence on 30 June 1960, and well into the following decades. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 648 7 $a 1830-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Flemish prose literature $y 1830-1900. 650 0 $a Flemish prose literature $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Flemish prose literature $v Translations into English. 650 7 $a Flemish prose literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00927224 651 0 $a Congo (Democratic Republic) $v Literary collections. 651 7 $a Congo (Democratic Republic) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208723 655 7 $a Literary collections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423811 655 7 $a Translations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423791 700 1 $a Renders, L., $e editor. 700 1 $a Dewulf, Jeroen, $d 1972- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317023150.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=093E2408177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
