Afropean, Notes from Black Europe (Signed copy)

Johny Pitts

Published by Allan Lane, London, 2019

First edition, third printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 22.5 × 14cm, 392pp. Signed directly to the title page by Johny Pitts, "To our grandchildren, Johny Pitts, FOR POSTERITY". Afropean is an on-the-ground documentary of areas where Europeans of African descent are juggling their multiple allegiances and forging new identities. Here is an alternative map of the continent, taking the reader to places like Cova Da Moura, the Cape Verdean shantytown on the outskirts of Lisbon with its own underground economy, and Rinkeby, the area of Stockholm that is eighty per cent Muslim. Johny Pitts visits the former Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, where West African students are still making the most of Cold War ties with the USSR, and Clichy Sous Bois in Paris, which gave birth to the 2005 riots, all the while presenting Afropeans as lead actors in their own story.
