Through its decades of colonial deceit and denial, Belgium remains a fundamentally racist country: this is the core premise of this critical, committed, outspoken and persuasive book by Nicholas Lewis (founder and editor-in-chief of The Word). The primary focus of his argument is the public space in Brussels, and the remarkably visible traces in it of racist colonial characters and myths. He points to demeaning colonial monuments and street names that glorify exploitative colonials in Etterbeek, Ixelles and Schaerbeek, in Place Royale and Cinquantenaire, and writes about the AfricaMuseum.

In between these chapters the book also holds passionate, wise and sometimes activist essays, written by important voices from the Congolese and Black communities, being Laura Nsengiyumva, Véronique Clette-Gakuba, Anne M. Georgine Dibua, François Makanga and Anne Wetsi Mpoma. The texts are combined with gripping photos from the past and the present, and the strong graphic design showcases Lewis’s bold and moving message: that racist stereotypes remain intrinsic to the contemporary Belgian society, as hampered as it is haunted by the spectre of its imperialistic ancestors.

Soft and comfortable, the only downside to the pillows is that the feathers pop out from the cover and pinch

Do not recommend
Size: Standard / 2 Packs, Color: White/Soft
At an Airbnb in Marine CA, these pillows were on my bed. They were so wonderful, I took a picture of the label so I could order them for myself. After a few weeks, the feathers began working out of casing and would poke my head. I then put them in two pillowcases thinking that would make a difference- nope. When I removed the outer pillowcase to launder, there were 69-80 little feathers between the two layers. I went back to my old pillows and although they aren’t as great as down pillows, I don’t miss being poked and finding little feathers between the pillowcases and in my bedroom. Four months later, I am still finding a few random feathers in my bedroom.

Very Comfortable and Good Quality
Size: Queen / 2 Packs, Color: White/Soft
These pillows are very comfortable and soft, but still give good support for sleeping. The material feels high quality and the size is perfect for my bed. I’ve been sleeping much better since I started using them. I would definitely recommend them.
