Summary:

"This book studies the Afro-European and Euro-African past and present from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective. It addresses Africa as a whole, eschewing historical divisions between North and Sub-Saharan Africa. Its content exemplifies the extent to which the histories of Europe and Africa are intertwined, and the way European sources are usually privileged in the writing of historical accounts of cross-cultural encounters. Using Post/Decolonial Studies, our point of view is based on Anthropology, History, Ethnomusicology, and Film and Literary Studies. We argue that mutual experiences and imaginations have affected how cultural heritage and legacy are conceived and thought of, as well as memories and sociopolitical experiences. The aim is to establish and encourage a broader knowledge of Africa-Europe and Europe-Africa encounters, incorporating case studies of Euro-African and Afro-European legacies. The final goal is to favour a more relational point of view by comparing Euro-African and Afro-European realities. The book helps consolidate a line of research that focuses on the relationship between Africa and Europe reason why the whole work is recommended to social science scholars that want to examine the contemporary relationship between the two continents"-- Provided by publisher.
