European cities: Modernity, race and colonialism is a
multidisciplinary collection of scholarly studies which rethink
European urban modernity from a race-conscious perspective, being
aware of (post-)colonial entanglements. The twelve original
contributions empirically focus on such various cities as
Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Cottbus, Genoa, Hamburg, Madrid,
Mitrovica, Naples, Paris, Sheffield, and Thessaloniki, engaging
multiple combinations of global urban studies, from various
historical perspectives, with postcolonial, decolonial and critical
race studies. Primarily inspired by the notion of Provincializing
Europe (Dipesh Chakrabarty) the collection interrogates dominant,
Eurocentric theories, representations and models of European cities
across the East-West divide, offering the reader alternative
perspectives to understand and imagine urban life and politics.
With its focus on Europe, this book ultimately contributes to
decades of rigorous critical race scholarship on varied global
urban regions. European cities is a vital reading for anyone
interested in the complex interactions between colonial legacies
and constructions of 'modernity', in view of catering to social
change and urban justice. -- .
