Europeanisation as Violence Souths and Easts as Method
Europeanisation as Violence Souths and Easts as Method by Kolar Aparna, published by Manchester University Press in 2025, offers a comprehensive examination of the violence associated with Europeanisation in various internal and external contexts. This 280-page book delves into the political, cultural, security, and development-related dimensions of this phenomenon, presenting twelve contributions from both academics and artists that utilize the frameworks of stratified subalternities and graded racialisation.
Readers will find an in-depth exploration of the complex relational politics that connect historical and imagined Souths and Easts. The contributions address diverse manifestations of violence, including infrastructure interventions, border governance, and the policing of marginalized communities. By highlighting issues such as counterinsurgency in the Saharo-Sahel and Mediterranean regions, as well as land dispossession in Ukraine, the collection underscores the potential for political possibilities that arise from the interplay of violence and Europeanisation.
Official synopsis Publisher
The book explores the violence enacted on Europe’s many internal and external Souths and Easts through forms of political, cultural, security and development-related Europeanisation. The twelve contributions, from both academics and artists, employ the analytical lenses of stratified subalternities and graded racialisation to examine the relational politics binding historical and imagined Souths and Easts. The contributions shed light on the heterogeneous manifestations of violence, including infrastructure interventions and border politics in the Balkans, border governance and counterinsurgency in the Saharo-Sahel and Mediterranean, the policing of Roma camps in Southern Europe, and land and agrarian dispossession in Ukraine. The collection proposes inter-referencing between South and East as a space of political possibilities emerging through and despite the violence of Europeanisation.
