Book Synopsis

Africa in Europe, in two volumes, is an interdisciplinary work about Europeans that demonstrates fluid boundaries and connections between them and Africans from antiquity until the present. Written by a scholar with expertise that includes anthropology, social history, and international relations, the subject matter of this fascinating work ranges from science to art and invites much new thinking about racism, territoriality, citizenship, and frontiers in a world that is increasingly globalized.

Review Quotes

The first such extensive overview drawn heavily from available scholarly literature, this interpretive textbook makes a very plausible case for reconsidering the anthropological and historical relationship between Africa and Europe within a framework that avoids preoccupation with race and color, rejects a division of Africa into Sub-Saharan and Northern, and discounts the Mediterranean as a significant boundary between the two continents.
