Creating Europe from the Margins Mobilities and Racism in Postcolonial Europe

Creating Europe from the Margins Mobilities and Racism in Postcolonial Europe

This edited volume explores the idea of Europe through a focus on its margins. The chapters in the volume inquire critically into the relations and tensions inherent in divisions between the Global North and the Global South as well as internal regional differentiation within Europe itself. In doing so the volume stresses the need to consider Europe from critical interdisciplinary perspectives highlighting historical and contemporary issues of racism and colonialism. While recent discussions of migration into ‘Fortress Europe’ seem to assume that Europe has clearly demarcated geographic political and cultural boundaries this book argues that the reality is more complex. The book explores margins conceptually and positions margins and centres as open to negotiation and contestation and characterized by ambiguity. As such margins can be contextualized in relation to hierarchies within Europe with different processes involved in creating boundaries and borders between different kinds of Europes and Europeans. Deploying case studies from different places such as Iceland Italy Poland Spain Turkey the UK Romania Cyprus Greece Sicily European colonies in the Caribbean and the former Yugoslavia the contributors analyse how different geopolitical hierarchies intersect with racialized subject positions of diverse people living in Europe while also exploring issues of gender class sexuality religion and nationality. Some chapters draw attention to the fortification of Europe’s ‘borderland ’ while others focus on internal hierarchies within Europe critiquing the meaning of spatial boundaries in an increasingly digitalized Europe. In doing so the chapters interrogate the hierarchies at play in the processes of being and becoming ‘European’ and the ongoing impacts of race and colonialism. This timely and thought-provoking collection will be of considerable significance to those in the humanities and social sciences with an interest in Europe.

Regional Development Agencies in Europe

Regional Development Agencies in Europe

In the past decade Europe has seen much change and at the same time the importance of the regional perspectives has significantly increased. Regional Development Agencies in Europe brings together experiences of Regional and Development Agencies throughout Europe to provide material for the first major comparative study of bottom-up regional policy across the continent. Using an analytical framework developed by editors the contributors evaluate the long term potential and limitations of the RDAs in terms of promoting regional and economic development. Institutional and other preconditions for successful regional polices are identified and combined with a broad analytical and geographical coverage that includes Eastern Europe a clearer picture of the relevance of the RDAs emerges.

Europe and the East Historical Ideas of Eastern and Southeast Europe 1789-1989

Europe and the East Historical Ideas of Eastern and Southeast Europe 1789-1989

This volume investigates competing ideas images and stereotypes of a European ‘East’ exploring its role in defining European and national conceptions of self and other since the eighteenth century. Through a set of original case studies this collection explores the intersection between discourses about a more distant exotic or colonial ‘Orient’ with a more immediate ‘East’. The book considers this shifting imaginary border from different points of view and demonstrates that the location definition and character of the ‘East’ often associated with socio-economic backwardness and other unfavourable attributes depended on historical circumstances political preferences cultural assumptions and geography. Spanning two centuries this study analyses the ways that changing ideals and persistent clichéd attitudes have shaped the conversation about and interpretations of Eastern Europe. Europe and the East will be essential reading for anyone interested in images and ideas of Europe European identity and conceptions of the ‘East’ in intellectual and cultural history. | Europe and the East Historical Ideas of Eastern and Southeast Europe 1789-1989
