9th Cartoon Contest 'De Geus' Belgium 2021
THEME: COLONIZATION AND DECOLONIZATION
Although the people of the former colonies forced their independence in the
second half of the 20th century, old colonial ideas and power relations
still-often unconsciously – have an influence on our society and our thinking.
They contribute to contemporary racism and stereotypical prejudices.
