A self-organizing Black Europe movement is emerging to contest European self-narration

Evidence

For all of this, there is now beginning to emerge as a self-conscious and self-organizing development – too early to call it a new social movement, to be sure, but it may be one in the making – around what “Black Europe” amounts to. What are the historical forces and factors fashioning the possibility of a formation drawing together overlapping historical and contemporary experiences into a common self-determining designation, what collective agencies do they prompt, and to what effect? How might the register of this new racial counter-history revise the mapping of European self-narration, reorder Europe’s body politic, rearticulate Europe’s racial configuration, opening it up not just to new social possibilities but to reconceived polities? How might one think of Europe’s “blackening,” both historically and contemporarily, in conversation, inter alia, with African and African-American influences but not reducible to them as frame, prompt, or analytic? — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 948
