If Tina Vonhof still wants to make an entry with the same, she is welcome to it, as it was her idea really.

I cannot agree with 'duster' for the following reasons:

The passage is taken from De Kapellekensbaan by Louis Paul Boon. I have read this writer extensively and he is an author and person who reacted against any unfairness whatsoever in society. Therefore, the negro woman who is compared to a 'stofvod' here is an image which is offensive. If anything she should be called a rag, both because of her colour (sorry, I do not want to be offensive here) and because of the ideas that the word 'rag' recalls as a piece of filth. A duster is much too clean for the anti-colonialism the passage evokes.
