Afropean: Notes from Black Europe Audiobook (Free)

Penguin presents the audiobook release of Afropean written and browse by Johny Pitts.

In the face of growing racial discrimination, anti-immigrant sentiment as well as the spectre of terrorism looming large over an economically stricken continent, Afropean is an on-the-ground documentary of areas where Europeans of African descent are juggling their multiple allegiances and forging new identities: too indelibly woven into Europe to identify with Africa yet fighting outdated ideas of what this means to be Western european.

Afropean will plot an alternative solution map of the continent, taking the audience to areas like Cova Da Moura, the Cape Verdean shantytown on the outskirts of Lisbon using its own underground overall economy, and Rinkeby, the region of Stockholm that is eighty per cent Muslim. The writer visits the former Patrice Lumumba University or college in Moscow, where Western world African students are still making the most of Chilly War ties using the USSR, and Clichy Sous Bois in Paris, which provided birth towards the 2005 riots.
