This book should be mandatory reading in all social science courses in Europe. Jonny has such a unique writing voice and is also a great narrator in the audiobook. I really liked the intertwining of personal experience (although I feel like certain parts of the book were sparser on this side of the equation) and historical / political reflection. Especially relevant to think Afropean as a potential international political movement. I learned so much about the history of the African diaspora and liberation movements in Europe. Especially loved the working class perspective that permeated the whole book. Highly recommend!

This was really well written and as well as being about modern Europe I learned a lot of colonial history I didn't know. There are obviously lots of books about Black Americans and I've read some books about Black Britain but they tend to be very London-centric. It was great to read a book about different Black experiences that I wouldn't normally see or hear about.
