Eurowhiteness: Culture, Empire and Race in the European Project (Paperback)

'Hans Kundnani has been on an intellectual journey over several years, close to the heart of the European mythmaking machine... What has emerged from this slow disenchantment is a clear, elegantly written polemic. Some people won't like it, which is probably why they should read it. ... Kundnani's book is more than an insightful one, it is a necessary one.' -- Financial Times
'[A] short and punchy book [that] exposes the often hidden and frequently denied foundations of European integration.' -- The Irish Times
'[Eurowhiteness] decries the continent's subtler form of chauvinism. ... By highlighting the way colonial horrors were memory-holed, Mr Kundnani rightly points out that other sins were mostly ignored.' -- The Economist
'Kundnani deftly bursts the bubble of those who idealize the EU as a cosmopolitan project.' -- Jacobin
'Fresh and exciting perspectives like Kundnani's are hard to come by.' -- Engelsberg Ideas
'[A] well-researched, interesting little book.' -- The New Statesman
'The most intriguing section of Eurowhiteness is Kundnani's discussion of Brexit.' -- Areo Magazine
'Many of [Kundnani's] points... [are] instructive, useful and true.' -- Martin Sandbu, Financial Times
'A fascinating book challenging the myths surrounding the EU. For some, this will be uncomfortable reading.' -- Anand Menon, Director of UK in a Changing Europe
'Kundnani shows that ideas of race are central to European thinking about politics. In the shadow of Ukraine, it's important for us to face this truth.' -- Kwame Anthony Appiah, author of 'The Lies That Bind: Rethinking Identity'
'A bracing challenge to the myths underlying the "European Project", and to the hollowness of contemporary cosmopolitanism.' -- Kenan Malik, author of 'Not So Black and White'
'Kundnani asks some hard and important questions about the EU's history, and his answers illuminate a great deal about European self-understanding.' -- Helen Thompson, co-host of Talking Politics
'Elegantly logical -- and sure to challenge many readers' assumptions.' -- Brendan Simms, author of 'Europe: The Struggle for Supremacy' and 'Britain's Europe'
