Africa in Europe, in two volumes, meticulously documents Europe's
African presence from antiquity to the present. It incorporates
findings from areas of study as diverse as physical anthropology,
linguistics, social history, social theory, international
relations, migrational studies, and globalization. In contrast to
most other works focusing on Eurafrican relationships that largely
revolve around Atlantic and trans-Atlantic developments since the
Age of Global Exploration, this work has a much broader perspective
which takes account of human evolution, the history of religion,
Judaic studies, Byzantine studies, the history of Islam, and
Western intellectual history including social theory. While the
issue of racism in its variant manifestations receives thorough
treatment, African in Europe is also about human connections across
fluid boundaries that are ancient as well as those that date to the
Age of Exploration, the Age of Revolution, and continue until the
present. Hence, it brings new clarity to our understanding of such
processes as acculturation and assimilation while deepening our
understanding of interrelationships among racism, violence, and
social identities. This work is full of new insights, fresh
interpretations, and highly nuanced analyses relevant to our
thinking about territoriality, citizenship, migration, and
frontiers in a world that is increasingly globalized. The author
moves across boundaries of time and space in ways that result in an
encyclopedic work that is an integrated and programmatic whole as
well as one in which each chapter is a complete module of
scholarship that is self-contained.
