Winner of the Jhalak Prize'A revelation' Owen Jones'Afropean seizes the blur of contradictions that have obscured Europe's relationship with blackness and paints it into something new, confident and lyrical' Afua Hirsch A Guardian, New Statesman and BBC History Magazine Best Book of 2019 'Afropean. Here was a space where blackness was taking part in shaping European identity ... A continent of Algerian flea markets, Surinamese shamanism, German Reggae and Moorish castles. Yes, all this was part of Europe too ... With my brown skin and my British passport - still a ticket into mainland Europe at the time of writing - I set out in search of the Afropeans, on a cold October morning.'Afropean is an on-the-ground documentary of areas where Europeans of African descent are juggling their multiple allegiances and forging new identities. Here is an alternative map of the continent, taking the reader to places like Cova Da Moura, the Cape Verdean shantytown on the outskirts of Lisbon with its own underground economy, and Rinkeby, the area of Stockholm that is eighty per cent Muslim. Johny Pitts visits the former Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, where West African students are still making the most of Cold War ties with the USSR, and Clichy Sous Bois in Paris, which gave birth to the 2005 riots, all the while presenting Afropeans as lead actors in their own story.

Brussels in Sips and Steps presents fourteen walks through Brussels that enable visitors and locals alike to learn its history, marvel at the Art Nouveau architecture, and sample Belgian beer. Not only are the major tourist sections of the city explored, but Brussels in Sips and Steps also reveals hidden gems in sections of the city less-visited by out of towners.Each of the fourteen walks begins by connecting the dots of Brussels' evolution. Points of interest tell the story of Brussels' emergence from a small fishing village to an important ducal seat of power on a Medieval trade route, later to a creative and financial center that fueled industry, arts and science in late 19th Century, and finally to today's capital of the European Union, when saying "Brussels" is shorthand for describing European-wide policies.No Brussels walk would be complete without a special place to enjoy a beer. Brussels in Sips and Steps suggests more than 30 Debriefing Points where visitors can reflect on what has been learned and ask a local for a beer recommendation. Trappist beers, abbey ales, saisons and lambic beers are all described, and a Belgian beer checklist enables readers to track their progress in sampling each type of Belgian beer. While a few stumbles may mix in with the sips and steps, more than thirty maps will help readers find their way. Read more
