Description
Discover 'Eurowhiteness,' a groundbreaking exploration of the European Union's complex identity and history. This compelling book, authored by an insightful scholar, delves deep into the paradox of Europe as a symbol of peace while navigating the troubling undertones of nationalism and imperial legacy. With a BRAND NEW condition and published in 2023 by Hurst Publishers, this essential read challenges the established narratives surrounding European integration, bringing to light the often-overlooked implications of colonial history.
As Europe grapples with its identity in the wake of the 2015 refugee crisis, 'Eurowhiteness' critically examines how concepts of race and ethnicity have increasingly shaped the narrative of European identity. It serves as a powerful reminder that the history of Europe is intertwined with ideas of 'whiteness' and the shifts in civic ideals toward more exclusive cultural perspectives. Discover why confronting these themes is vital for understanding contemporary Europe.

Description:
The European Union is often seen as a cosmopolitan rejection of violent nationalism. Yet the idea of Europe has a long, problematic history — in medieval times, it was synonymous with Christianity; in the modern era, it became associated with â€whiteness’.
Eurowhiteness exposes the EU as a vehicle for imperial amnesia. Narratives of European integration emphasise the lessons of war and the Holocaust, but not the lessons of colonial history. The EU is about power as much as peace — and civic ideas of Europe are being displaced by ethnic and cultural ones.
Since the 2015 refugee crisis, whiteness has become even more central to European identity — a troubling new turn in Europe’s long civilisational project. It is time to confront the relationship between ideas of Europe and ideas of race.
