Conclusion: Ending Colonialism by Securing its Continuation -- Bibliography -- Index."In order to think theoretically about our global age it is important to understand how the global has been conceived historically. 'Eurafrica' was an intellectual endeavor and political project that from the 1920s saw Europe's future survival - its continued role in history - as completely bound up with Europe's successful merger with Africa. In its time the concept of Eurafrica was tremendously influential in the process of European integration. Today the project is largely forgotten, yet the idea continues to influence EU policy towards its African 'partner'. The book will recover a critical conception of the nexus between Europe and Africa - a relationship of significance across the humanities and social sciences. In assessing this historical concept the authors shed light on the process of European integration, African decolonization and the current conflictual relationship between Europe and Africa."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Theory for a global age.ColoniesEuropean federationEuropeansAfricaGeopoliticsAfricaSocial theoryColonies.European federation.EuropeansGeopolitics918.109235Hansen Peo502252Jonsson Stefan1961-UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910139145603321Eurafrica1944288UNINA
