Postcolonial Europe: Comparative Reflections after the Empires
Editat de Lars Jensen, Julia Suárez-Krabbe, Christian Groes, Zoran Lee Pecicen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 noi 2017
Postcolonial Europe: Comparative Reflections after the Empires brings together scholars from across disciplines to rethink European colonialism in the light of its vanishing empires and the rise of new global power structures. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to the postcolonial European legacy, the book argues that the commonly used nation-centric approach does not effectively capture the overlap between different colonial and postcolonial experiences across Europe.

Recenzii
This compelling volume demonstrates that decolonization is an ongoing process affecting all Europeans now. Its authors invite us to reassess the intellectual and cultural geography of European colonialism and reflect on its racial and dehumanizing legacies. At the crossroads between postcolonial and decolonial studies, this book argues that colonial tropes and rhetoric still underpin contemporary narratives of nationhood and otherhood.
This very important and timely book sheds much needed light on how Europe is still obsessed by the material, ontological and epistemological borders that protect its colonial legacy. In a time when populism, racism and anti-intellectualism resurge, it performs the crucially important work of collapsing the myths of European exceptionalism that still nurture both the former powerhouses of colonialism and the western nations seemingly marginal to this enterprise.
This wonderful collection demonstrates powerfully the importance of postcolonial theory to understanding contemporary Europe, as well as giving an acute sense of Europe as a contested and differentiated space. The emphasis on Europe's internal differentiation captures significantly the various ways in which the colonial archives are re-evoked, with the different chapters providing insights into racism, otherness and geopolitics of the present.
A timely collection of essays that deconstructs the colonial legacy of Fortress Europe and its continual influence on global constellations of power. Packed with essays from various disciplines that cover a substantial part of the continent - from Denmark to Italy, and from Poland to Spain -, Postcolonial Europe offers a refreshing critique of the current political climate by exposing the internal, if not inverted, colonialisms within.
Postcolonial Europe is an important and timely contribution that pushes the boundaries of postcolonial studies beyond the normative rhetoric of Centre and Periphery. This book unravels the complex articulations and formations of Europe, by interrogating the significance of its geography of powers as a series of performative manifestations of and reactions to anachronist colonialist practices. The collection posits Europe as a prismatic space whose margins open up a number of productive interrogations on the very notion of modernity.?
