This book is a continuation of the 2019 publication by Jan Kempenaers, Belgian Colonial Monuments. Kempenaers (re-)searched and photographed another 60 colonial monuments related to the Belgian colonial past which to date can all be found in the Belgian public space. Phillip Van den Bossche writes in the introduction: "How can you make the moments when you enter the public space (with countless monuments accumulated over time) 'acceptable' for as many people as possible? Why have no legal principles been elaborated and valid with regard to memorials and monuments? Why don't they have an expiration date? These are three questions that come to mind when looking at Jan Kempenaers' new series of photos."
