Belonging in Europe - The African Diaspora and Work (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Bressey, Caroline; Adi, Hakim

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Although often assumed to have begun with post-war immigration, the black presence in Europe in fact pre-dates the forced migrations of trans-Atlantic slavery. This volume seeks to not only mark these early histories, but to examine the lives of those who made their lives in Europe before 1945.
