Summary
Aleš Debeljak: Europe without Europeans
Reputable Slovenian poet and essayist, combining confessional-autobiographical storytelling and theoretical discourse of cultural and sociological-political analysis, in the book reexamines the fundamental concepts related to the European Union, emphasizing the problems faced by a small number of nations when entering European integration. Trying to define the very concepts of Europe and Europeans, Debeljak warns of the existence of deep-rooted prejudices against the so-called to another Europe made up of new members of the Union, and one wonders how long it will take to liberate the European mental space from the legacy and image of a traditionally divided space.
