Beschreibung
Exploring peripheral lives and liminal landscapes in Europe's cities, writer and photographer Johny Pitts offers a new way to think about being black in Europe today. This alternative map of the continent takes you to places like Cova Da Moura, the Cape Verdean shantytown on the outskirts of Lisbon with its own underground economy, or Rinkeby, the area of Stockholm that is eighty per cent Muslim. An impressive study of black identity in Europe.
