Summary:

'Belonging' is both a fundamental human emotion and a political project that affects millions. Since its foundation in 1957, the European Union has encouraged people to feel a sense of belonging to one united community, with mixed results. Today faced with a migration crisis, the threat of terrorism and rising social tensions, governments are seeking to impose an increasingly narrow kind of belonging on their populations through policies of exclusion. Do I Belong? brings together a diverse group of writers to reflect on their own senses of European belonging. In creative and disarming ways, they confront the challenges of nationalism, populism, racism and fundamentalism. Book jacket.
