When I bought the book I originally wanted to write this review for the Black History Month... As you can see I couldn't make it: the book requires special attention from the reader, as it tackles a complex topics such as racism, colonialism and psychologist whilst imbuing the whole with references to literature and philosophy - everything written in exquisite academic language. It might not be everyone's taste, but if you are interested in such topics, you'll be astonished by this profound, foretelling piece of work.

Intellectually stimulating, a must lecture.
It sounds completely implausible: the young French anthropologist Martin is trekking through the wild tundra in Kamchatka, when she is attacked by a bear, who violently bites into her face and thigh. Martin, however, manages to fight him off and survives, having to go through a number of complicated operations, unimaginable pain and transformative self-doubt about the complete change of her face. Her memoir about this experience is magical, unclassifiable and occasionally impenetrable. Her trained anthropologist mind teases out meanings here, deeper symbolism, but her new status as someone who survived a bear attack also connects her ever deeper with the spiritual culture of the Evens who she was studying. I'll freely admit that I didn't understand at least 20% of the book, but it is no less impressive and astonishing for it.
Johny Pitts's "Afropean" is an intensely personal history of African Europe. The title gives away teh book's project which is to afford the Afro-European (or Afropean) identity every bit as much of a central place in European culture and history as African-American has over the pond.
Pitts's journey takes us across Europe from Sheffield, in the north of England, where he grew up to Paris, Brussels, Berlin and a host of other places in between. His photographer's eye allows him to observe each city and come out with fresh and interesting perspectives which he then weaves into their Black histories.
This is the kind of non-fiction where one feels one is constantly being fed both with the skills of observation and empathy of a fine novelist and the research and insight of a historian - it's a book which you will both enjoy reading and feel you have learned a lot from afterwards. Urgent yet whimsical, it is a fine piece of writing.
