*Shortlisted for the JQ Wingate Literary Prize, 2017* 'Belonging'
is both a fundamental human emotion and a political project that
affects millions. Since its foundation in 1957, the European Union
has encouraged people across its member states to feel a sense of
belonging to one united community, with mixed results. Today, faced
with the fracturing impacts of the migration crisis, the threat of
terrorism and rising tensions within countries, governments within
and outside the EU seek to impose a different kind of belonging on
their populations through policies of exclusion and bordering. In
this collection of original essays, a diverse group of novelists,
journalists and academics reflect on their own individual senses of
European belonging. In creative and disarming ways, they confront
the challenges of nationalism, populism, racism and fundamentalism.
Do I Belong? offers fascinating insights into such questions as:
Why fear growing diversity? Is there a European identity? Who
determines who belongs? Is a single sense of 'good' belonging in
Europe dangerous? This collection provides a unique commentary on
an insufficiently understood but defining phenomenon of our age.
Authors include: Zia Haider Rahman, Goran Rosenberg, Isolde Charim,
Hanno Loewy, Diana Pinto, Nira Yuval-Davis and Doron Rabinovici
among others.
