This is also a story told from a working class perspective, another rarely articulated lens, and it is the warmth and generative possibilities of Johnny Pitts narration, unapologetically complex, whilst always in recognition and respect of the cooperations between people on the margins of power that makes not only survival, but also beauty and love, which may not look like mainstream idealizations of those twin aspirations for the good life, thrive. It is of academic quality - but it is not remotely academic in terms of readability and warmth. The writing is full of energy and empathy for the people he meets. Verkauf und Versand durch Amazon. Afropean: Notes from Black Europe Kindle Edition by Johny Pitts (Author) › Visit Amazon's Johny Pitts Page. In this Europe, the complex intersections and extractions of various kinds of colonial expansions and their aftermaths, and the impossibility of separating that story from that of the contemporary world , are located precisely where they belong - at the centre of the story of a continent whose cultures and societies have been utterly shaped by the events of the last 550 years. I made 3 pages of notes while reading this book, but rather than making a recap that would not do the contents justice anyway, I simply want to state that it has been a great pleasure to read. Johny Pitts (Author) 4.6 out of 5 stars 40 ratings. The author, Johnny Pitts, has done a superb job of opening the hearts and minds of his readers to the lives and stories of black Europeans, alongside taking us through the history that has led to where we are now. It is an affecting and original book, which shines a light on the African experiences in Europe like nothing I have read before.

As a flaneur in cities such as Paris, Marseille, Lisbon, Stockholm, Brussels, and Berlin, Pitts talks to a wide range of people experiencing an Africa 'that was both in and of Europe'. The title is appropriated from an excellent polyphonic Belgian/Congolese band called Zap Mama, and I could write with far more excitement about their albums than I can about this book just off the cuff.
