- Summary:
- "Un/German explores how Europe united post-Cold War through a concerted rewriting of the continental past and present that combined post-fascist and post-socialist narratives into a western capitalist success story. Absent was a third factor in dire need of reassessment: the continent's colonial legacy, manifest in a steadily growing postcolonial population that remains 'un-European' and in futile attempts to police and fortify the continent's physical, political, and identitarian borders. Using the 2015 'refugee crisis' as a starting point, the book argues that Europe's internal instability is managed through its externalization into repeated crisis moments, casting racialized communities as the outside threat against which a deeply divided continent can unite"-- Provided by publisher.
