It explores the ways in which European cosmopolitanism can be theorized differently if we take into account histories which have rarely been at the forefront of such understandings. It also uses neglected historical resources to draw out new and unexpected entanglements and connections between understandings of European cosmopolitanism both in Europe and elsewhere. The final part of the book places European cosmopolitanism in tension with contemporary postcolonial configurations around diaspora, migration, and austerity. Overall, it seeks to draw attention to the ways in which Europeâs posited others have always been very much a part of Europeâs colonial histories and its postcolonial present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn sharp contrast to the anti-historical, methodological Eurocentrism that has permeated the greater part of scholarly work on ‘Cosmopolitan Europe’, this book applies a rare, let’s call it, methodological cosmopolitanism to its subject matter. In so doing, it not only successfully challenges numerous assumptions and claims concerning the cosmopolitanism \u003ci\u003ein \u003c\/i\u003eand of Europe (and \u003ci\u003evice versa\u003c\/i\u003e). As the book’s contributions amply testify, it also opens the door to a new, highly enlightening and thus utterly central empirical terrain for the field. This book is an achievement that should define the context for future research and intellectual debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—\u003ci\u003ePeo Hansen, Professor of Political Science at REMESO, Linköping University\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a time when the EU political project has been called into question as never before in its history, Bhambra and Narayan’s edited collection offers an insightful exploration of the hidden histories that have shaped cosmopolitan Europe, but are largely omitted by its historical canon. By recovering silenced histories, the book provides us with a novel perspective as well as expanded resources with which to address the challenges of our contemporary society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e— \u003ci\u003eNando Sigona, Birmingham Fellow, Senior Lecturer and Deputy Director of IRiS, Univeristy of Birmingham\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book makes a bold and crucial intervention. It simultaneously challenges the complacencies of elite European self-understandings, whereby an official ideology of European cosmopolitanism in fact reinstates postcolonial historical denial and Eurocentric insularity and excavates the richly cosmopolitan histories of imperial Europe’s inseparability from anti-colonial cosmopolitanisms, that go beyond ‘Europe’. The critical insight and rigor of this collection is indispensable for any serious reflection on the questions of ‘Europe’ and cosmopolitanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—\u003ci\u003eNicholas De Genova, Reader in Human Geography, King’s C\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
