Europe has long imagined itself as the centre of the universe,
although its precise geographical, cultural and social terrains
have always been amorphous. Exploring the fear and fascination
associated with the continent as an allegory, Hamid Dabashi
considers Europe to be a historically formed barricade against the
world. Frantz Fanon's assessment that 'Europe is literally the
creation of the Third World' is still true today; but in more than
one sense for the colonial has always been embedded in the capital,
and the capital within the colonial. As the condition of
coloniality shifts, so have the dividing lines between coloniser
and colonised, and this shift calls for a reappraisal of our
understanding of nationalism, xenophobia and sectarianism as the
dangerous indices of the emerging worlds. As the far-right
populists captivate minds across Europe and Brexit upsets the
balance of power in the European Union, this book, from a major
scholar of postcolonial thought, is a timely and transformative
intervention.
