| Summary |
"Making a mental, space-time journey across and beyond Europe's borders--moving from medieval times to the present, from Istanbul to the northernmost tip of Norway--the authors show how the dangerous dynamics of "Othering", estrangement, intolerance and hatred have become an inherent part of the continent's history."--Back cover |
