Home, and a Distant Archive
by Dorothy Cheung 24:13 Hong Kong
Before the British handed Hong Kong to China in 1997, the British government has transferred many sensitive colonial documents to its archive in London.

Who is afraid of the black man?
by Simon Gabioud 13:15 Switzerland
«No black man had ever set foot in this tiny swiss village before I came.» In the winter of 1951, the African-American writer James Baldwin spent a few months in Leukerbad, in the heart of the Valais mountains, where his lover came from. There he experienced the strangeness of a being a “Nigger”, as the children called him, sometimes terrified, sometimes intrigued. Seventy years later, in a world shaken by the murder of George Floyd and in a Switzerland undermined by racial discrimination, James Baldwin's words resonate with an odd relevancy.
