Edited by Sarah Demart (ULG/KU Leuven) and Gia Abrassart (Café Congo)

At the crossroads of the academic, artistic and activist fields, this book, which brought together some sixty contributors, looks back at the post-fiftieth anniversary of the Congo's independence (2010) to reveal the challenges of diasporic creation in a former colonial metropolis, Belgium, which is often neglected.

Through the voices of artists and players on the cultural scene who have made their mark on the Belgian-Congolese scene over the last five years, this situated, critical and hybrid point of view makes a major contribution to the theme of creation in the post-colony era and the definition of Afro-Congolese identities in a highly racialised society.
