Summary
| Description |
Nederlands: Het monument voor de Belgische pioniers in Congo is een monument in het Brusselse Jubelpark ter ere van de Belgische inspanningen in het voormalige Belgisch Kongo. Het is controversieel omwille van haar verheerlijking van het Belgische koloniaal verleden. Dit detail verbeeldt hoe een Belgische soldaat een Congolees tegen een Arabische slavendrijver beschermd en maakt deel uit van een iconografie die als apologie voor het Belgisch kolonialisme diende.

It is highly controversial because it romanticizes the Belgian colonial project. This detail depicts a Belgian soldier protecting a Congolese against an Arabic slaver and belongs to an iconography part of colonialist apologetics. |
