       Sweeping in scope and ambition, historian Olivette Otele’s
       newest book is one of the first comprehensive chronicles of
       African people’s presence on the European continent. Beginning
       in Roman-occupied Gaul, where the Egyptian-born Saint Maurice
       was reportedly executed for refusing to worship Jupiter prior to
       a battle, African Europeans traces its subjects’ stories across
       the millennia, from the 3rd century to the 21st. Along the way,
       Otele highlights famous and lesser-known individuals alike,
       balancing profiles of specific figures with a broader
       examination of how conceptions of race have changed over time.
       “The term ‘African European’ is … a provocation for those who
       deny that one can have multiple identities and even
       citizenships, as well as those who claim that they do not ‘see
       color,’” writes Otele in the book’s introduction. “The aims of
       this volume are to understand connections across time and space,
       to debunk persistent myths, and to revive and celebrate the
       lives of African Europeans.”
