Title: Belgium, the utopia of a nation - THOMAS BEAUFILS - new book
Political observers are adamant: dying Belgium is living its last moments! At a time when the European Union is trying to wipe out its borders, the Belgians are inventing new ones, making some fear, and others hope, that Belgium will explode for good. Yet, this process will not be without difficulty. What to do with memories? What to do with those who still feel Belgian? So, is Belgium still alive? It is even more so abroad. The French, to speak only of them, pay little attention to these multifaceted identities. They have invented a Belgian imagery of their own, fueled by those recurring stereotypes that everyone knows well: the accent, the beer, the supposed stupidity of the Belgians, mussels and fries, chocolate, comics, etc. So many preconceived ideas that the author reviews in this work and which, whatever the political future of this country, will ensure that Belgium, its history, its culture and its inhabitants will always be present in the collective imagination.
