    Series Statement: Imagining Black Europe Vol. 2
    Content: Afropolitan Encounters: Literature and Activism in London and Berlin explores what Afropolitanism does. Mobile people of African descent use this term to address their own lived realities creatively, which often includes countering stereotypical notions of being African. Afropolitan practices are enormously heterogeneous and malleable, which constitutes its strengths and, at the same time, creates tensions. This book traces the theoretical beginnings of Afropolitanism and moves on to explore Afropolitan practices in London and Berlin. Afropolitanism can take different forms, such as that of an identity, a political and ethical stance, a dead–end road, networks, a collective self–care practice or a strategic label. In spite of the harsh criticism, Afropolitanism is attractive for people to deal with the meanings of Africa and Africanness, questions of belonging, equal rights and opportunities. While not a unitary project, the vast variety of Afropolitan practices provide approaches to contemporary political problems in Europe and beyond. In this book, Afropolitan practices are read against the specific context of German and British colonial histories and structures of racism, the histories of Black Europeans, and contemporary right–wing resurgence in Germany and England, respectively.

    Content: «Afropolitan Encounters: Literature and Activism in London and Berlin offers important scholarly insights in a local and global context that continues to confront the violence of ethnonationalism and biological essentialism, despite the efforts of scholars, artists and activists to exercise creative and political agency. Anna von Rath amplifies thinkers and creators who assert Afropolitanism as a refusal to be located, fixed and contained.» (Adam Haupt, Professor and Director, Centre for Film & Media Studies, University of Cape Town)
