Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Religion in today's Democratic Republic of Congo has many faces: from the overflowing seminaries, the Marian shrines of the Catholic Church, the Islamic brotherhoods, and the Jewish community of Lubumbashi, to the 'African' churches of the Congolese diaspora in Brussels and Paris, the healers of Kimbanguism, the televangelism of the booming Pentecostalist churches in the great cities, the Orthodox communities of Kasai, and the 'invisible' Mai Mai warriors in the brousse of Kivu. During the colonial period religion was no less central to people's lives than it is today. More surprisingly, behind the seemingly smooth facade of missions linked closely to imperial power, also then faith and worship were marked by diversity and dynamism, tying the Congo into broader African and global movements.The contributions in this book provide insight into the multifaceted history of the interaction between religion and colonization. The authors focus on the institutional (including legal) political framework, examine the complex interaction between indigenous and 'imported' non-African religious beliefs and practices, and zoom in on the part religions played in the independence movement as well as on their reaction to independence itself.Contributors: Piet Clement (Bank of International Settlements), Bram Cleys (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Anne Cornet (Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren) Marie Dunkerley (Exeter University), Zana Aziza Etambala (Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren), Anne-Sophie Gijs (Universit Catholique de Louvain), Miguel Bandeira Jer nimo (University of Coimbra), Emery Kalema Masua (University of the Witwatersrand), Sindani E.

Paperback. Condition: New. BandW edition. How Belgium's decentralised embassy building programme highlights the collaborative nature and diplomatic significance of embassy architecture.Embassy buildings are the most tangible evidence of a state's diplomatic presence abroad. State authorities have invested in the architectural conception of purpose-built embassies to flex their diplomatic muscle and project nationhood on foreign soil. While scholars have primarily focused on purpose-built embassies of (former) world powers, Building for Belgium shifts the perspective by scrutinising the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs' embassy-building programme from 1945 to 2020.Rather than a conventional political assessment of diplomatic relations, the book foregrounds the often-overlooked architectural lives of embassies and their social, economic, and political entanglements. By examining Belgian embassy projects across all continents, it reveals how the Belgian diplomatic corps has navigated diverse political regimes, geopolitical contexts, cultures, and building codes. More than the outcome of a deliberate policy, the embassy-building programme has been shaped by incidental decisions, private ambitions and personal tastes of Belgian diplomats, ministry officials and politicians.Building for Belgium not only sheds light on diplomatic architecture but also connects domestic conversations about architecture in Belgium with global state-building projects. Offering fresh insights into the politics of space, it will be of value to scholars and practitioners in architecture, urban studies, international relations, cultural heritage, and Belgian and European studies.

Dit boek maakt de duizendjarige geschiedenis van Brussel zichtbaar aan de hand van haar meest bijzondere oude kaarten. Van een schaalmodel van de middeleeuwse stad aan de Zenne tot een plan van de Noord-Zuidverbinding die de metropool doorsnijdt: deze kaarten onthullen hoe Brussel door de eeuwen heen uitgroeide tot het kloppend hart van België en Europa. Oude kaarten zijn stille getuigen van het verleden. In het geval van Brussel is dat verleden even rijk als woelig: de stad was achtereenvolgens de hoofdplaats van het hertogdom Brabant, de Zeventien Provinciën, de Zuidelijke Nederlanden, het Verenigd Koninkrijk der Nederlanden, België, de Vlaamse en Franse Gemeenschap en ten slotte ook de Europese Unie. We maken die historische lijn inzichtelijk, onder meer via een oud schema van de zeven geslachten die de stad bestuurden in de late middeleeuwen en een unieke plattegrond die de lezer door de straten gidst waar zich in 1830 de Belgische Revolutie voltrok. Maar de geschiedenis is meer dan een onophoudelijke politieke en militaire machtsstrijd. De zorgvuldig geselecteerde kaarten tonen ook de sociaal-economische en culturele fundamenten van Brussel, door thema's zoals religie, ontspanning, industrie en migratie te belichten. Sommige kaarten, zoals die van Jacob van Deventer, zijn iconisch geworden. Andere verwonderen, zoals een schets van de groentekramen op de Grote Markt en een mentale kaart van het hedendaagse Anderlecht. Een aantal kaarten in dit boek is nooit eerder aan het brede publiek getoond. Zo vonden we een 16de-eeuwse proceskaart die de ruzie tussen stedelingen blootlegt, en een twee meter lang plan met de posities van de Oostenrijkse legers voor het beleg van Brussel. Een team van ervaren historici en cartografen schetst de historische context en leert je hoe je de kaart kunt 'lezen' als venster op het verleden. Dit boek vertelt het verhaal van een stad in beweging. Brussel, als spiegel van onze Belgische en internationale geschiedenis, komt hier tot leven. 0 g.
