Reviews

Deconstructing Europe is a truly cross disciplinary anthology which takes up an important debate about the future development of Europe as a multicultural project - Paulina Gasior, in the journal Postcolonial Europe 'This exciting and creative collection...speaks to the 'leading edge' of debates in interdisciplinary feminist, postcolonial, and race theory and provides a valuable set of contributions to understanding the complexities, crossings, and convivialities at work in this region.' Ian Law, University of Leeds in Postcolonial Text, Vol 7, No 3 (2012) 'Never closed, never shut off, and never completed, Europe remains open to intervention. This book provides many signposts to the ways in which these interventions work and the ways in which colonial legacies can be dismantled.' Ian Law, University of Leeds in Postcolonial Text, Vol 7, No 3 (2012)
