Hergé, yesterday anti-Bolshevik, racist and colonialist
Belgian comic book author Hergé is featured in a retrospective dedicated to him at the Grand Palais in Paris. Invited in the morning of France Inter, Benoît Peeters, screenwriter, publisher and biographer of Hergé, returns to the polemics around the album "Tintin au Congo", accused of racism and colonialism. For the guest it is an exceptional document on colonialism and the colonial mentality of the time. In illustration a radio archive is broadcast, where Hergé explains to Jacques Chancel that in 1920 he was racist and anti-communist, that everyone was anti-Bolshevik and colonialist, but that he then evolved over time ("Radioscopy" of 09/01/1979).
