Is it possible to rearticulate the relationship between Europe and
its others in non-colonizing ways? Europe and Its Boundaries
reflects upon this question, first by exploring several
philosophical approaches to Europe's relation to non-Europe, then
by examining that relationship in specific intellectual and
material contexts of European domination. The philosophical
approaches are explored through the works of G. W. F. Hegel,
Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida, and Hans-Georg Gadamer.
Departing from the routine recognition of Europe's hegemonic role
in constituting global political modernity, the authors examine
fundamental political and ethical questions of coloniality,
anti-coloniality, post-coloniality, mutual recognition,
hospitality, responsibility, justice, and democracy. Regarding the
intellectual and material contexts, the book explores the
production of Europe and its relation to others in highly
significant moments and sites of meaning making in European history
and politics, from battles and monuments on its western and eastern
territorial boundaries to museum exhibitions and immigrant
detention centers, that is, new forms of borders at its very core.
Europe and Its Boundaries thus reconsiders historical and
contempoarary understandings of Europe, border politics, and global
encounters more broadly. This book will find an audience among
scholars of political theory, international relations, geography,
cultural studies, history, and post-colonial studies.
