Routledge Race and the Colour-Line: Boundaries of Europeanness

Explore the complex history of race and colonialism in Central and Eastern Europe with Race and the Colour-Line: The Boundaries of Europeanness in Poland. This academic work from the Studies in Migration and Diaspora series examines how foundational ideas about race shaped the region and connects these local developments to global racial discourse. By focusing on the specificities of Polish racism, this book provides a new perspective that expands current understandings of race in the West. It moves beyond traditional narratives to show how regional identities were constructed through colonial-style thinking. This text is an essential resource for students, researchers, and historians interested in migration, diaspora studies, and the historical roots of social hierarchies. It offers a deep look into the processes of race-making by connecting regional history to the broader global context.
