Fatima El-Tayeb’s bold and graceful new book is an electrifying piece of original scholarship on contemporary ‘vernacular’ cultures of community-building in Europe. The world’s leading expert on minoritarian countercultures of art and activism in western Europe today, El-Tayeb sets entirely new standards for intersectional theories of race and sexuality in an age of accelerated transformation. Greater even than the sum of its very incisive parts, El-Tayeb’s European Others focuses on the lived experience of marginalized social groups to craft a new critical idiom for conceptualizing Europe, globalization, diaspora, and marginalization itself.
