"Afropean" is an insightful and eye-opening exploration of the lives of Europeans of African descent who are juggling multiple allegiances while forging new identities. The book presents an alternative map of the continent, taking readers to places like Cova Da Moura, a Cape Verdean shantytown on the outskirts of Lisbon with its own underground economy, and Rinkeby, an area of Stockholm that is 80% Muslim.
Author Johny Pitts visits various locations in Europe, including the former Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, where West African students are still making the most of Cold War ties with the USSR, and Clichy Sous Bois in Paris, which gave birth to the 2005 riots. Throughout his journey, Pitts presents Afropeans as lead actors in their own story, highlighting their unique experiences and contributions to European culture.
"Afropean: Notes from Black Europe" is a must-read for anyone interested in learning more about the diverse cultures and communities that make up Europe today. It offers a fresh perspective on the complex relationships between race, identity, and belonging in contemporary society.
