European Cosmopolitanism

Colonial Histories and Postcolonial Societies

Herausgeber: Bhambra, Gurminder; Narayan, John

Beschreibung

This book examines the cosmopolitan project of post-war Europe and offers a postcolonial appraisal of its recent history. The focus is not on pluralising the narratives of Europe, but with forging an understanding of European cosmopolitanism â of history, identity, politics â more adequate to its colonial past and present multicultural constituencies.
