Summary:
"A dazzling
history
of Africans in
Europe
, revealing their unacknowledged role in shaping the continent. Conventional wisdom holds that Africans are only a recent presence in
Europe
. But in African Europeans, renowned historian Olivette Otele debunks this and uncovers a long
history
of Europeans of African descent. From the third century, when the Egyptian Saint Maurice became the leader of a Roman legion, all the way up to the present, Otele explores encounters between those defined as "Africans" and those called "Europeans." She gives equal attention to the most prominent figures--like Alessandro de Medici, the first duke of Florence thought to have been born to a free African woman in a Roman village--and the untold stories--like the lives of dual-heritage families in
Europe
's coastal trading towns. African Europeans is a landmark celebration of this integral, vibrantly complex slice of European
history
, and will redefine the field for years to come."--Amazon.
