Europeanisation as Violence - Bog

The book offers a novel lens to situate Europeanisation as violence from the cracks of triumphant narratives of progress. The collection pushes the established "toolkit" of postcolonial and postsocialist critique and their multifaceted "afterlives". It does so by relating historical processes and genealogies of Europeanisation around questions of labour, race, gender, infrastructure, heritage, memory, settler expansion, among others. The contributions stitch together a wide range of seemingly unrelated geo-histories of violence producing territories relationally, including postwar "Recovered Territories" of Western Poland and Madagascar, Ukraine and Dutch East Indies, Andalusia and Transylvania, Western Balkans and EuroAfrica, Yemen, Mediterranean and Saharo-Sahel, Chad and Central African Republic, Finland among others. The volume is an invitation for building theory across peripheries, between and against empires and state borders, what is called Souths and Easts as Method.
