It's a side of Europe I have experienced at times having been in most of those countries as a tourist or through friends and family. The series is really worth watching!
None of the presenters would ever read my book but plugging it in still ... #AfricanEuropeans
Ah, that new old debate. Plus ca change ... #AfricanEuropeans
Ah, I was sent a photo of my book spotted at Newport Library. Wow, my home library finally has #AfricanEuropeans ... Well, thank you!
A couple of years ago a friend sent a picture of what she'd just seen: my book #AfricanEuropeans at the entrance of the library of this great museum right under the portrait of Dr King. I was incredibly touched!
Monday, I’ll be teaching my first travel course - The African Diaspora in Western Europe. For 10 we will travel to London, Paris, and Madrid. We’ll be studying with locals about their lived experiences and histories.
We’re reading @historianmemory.bsky.social’s incredible book, #AfricanEuropeans.
