Postcolonial Europe concerns itself with several overlapping fields.

• Postcolonial and postimperial European negotiations of their colonial experience.
• European ex-colonies' reworking of their colonial histories.
• Postcolonial relations between ex-colonial powers and ex-colonies.
• The relationship between colonialism and colonial history in Europe and its former colonies and contemporary migration in relation to globalisation, the current crisis of neoliberalism and the circulation of racist representation in conceptualisations of the European self.

 This volume has recently been released in paperback by Edinburgh University Press.



The Postcolonial Europe dimension of postkolonial.dk is involved in several collaborations. One is the NOS-HS sponsorered workshop series Nordic Colonial Mind and Nordic Identities and Crises (see Postcolonising the Nordic). Another is PEN (Postcolonial Europe Network), which is financed through the Dutch Research Council. It is a collaboration between the universities of Utrecht, Leeds, Napoli Orientale, Munich and Roskilde). Utrecht is the host university (http://www.postcolonialstudies.nl/). Finally Cultural Encounters at Roskilde University, and thereby postkolonial.dk participates in the Network for Migration and Culture hosted by Copenhagen University (http://cemes.ku.dk/netvaerk/nationalt_netvaerk/network_for_migration_and_culture/).
