Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Afropean written and go through by Johny Pitts.

In the face of growing racial discrimination, anti-immigrant sentiment as well as the spectre of terrorism looming large over an economically stricken continent, Afropean can be an on-the-ground documentary of areas where Europeans of African descent are juggling their multiple allegiances and forging new identities: too indelibly woven into European countries to identify with Africa and yet fighting outdated ideas of what this means to be Western.

Afropean will plot an alternative map of the continent, taking the audience to areas like Cova Da Moura, the Cape Verdean shantytown in the outskirts of Lisbon with its own underground economy, and Rinkeby, the region of Stockholm that’s eighty % Muslim. The writer visits the previous Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, where West African students are still taking advantage of Cold War ties with the USSR, and Clichy Sous Bois in Paris, which provided birth towards the 2005 riots.
