The presence of people of African descent in Europe is generally viewed through the prism of slavery and colonization, obscuring a much older shared history.
In her new book African Europeans, An Untold Story, Professor Olivette Otele uncovers a forgotten past, from Emperor Septimius Severus, to enslaved Africans living in Europe during the Renaissance, and all the way to present-day migrants moving to Europe’s cities.
With a forthcoming translation in French. A must-read book !
The French website CAIRN is an amazing ressource, including an international edition which allows many scholars to have an insight into top-level publications in french.
Here is an example with Patrick Cabanel's article about Non-violence in French Protestantism during World War One.
"French protestants played a part in the emergence of radical pacifism and non-violence during the First World War. The values and actions of Bertin Aguillon and Jules-Philippe Guiton, two young methodist ministers who died in 1914 and 1917, are well documented, the latter having kept a diary that has recently been published. This is not the case of Cévenol Roux and the Berthalon du Dauphiné brothers who, for many years, took refuge in the mountains. (...) Patrick Cabanel suggests opening this chapter on protestant radical pacifism, between history and literature."

The data was collected from 636 Protestant families between 1 and 30 September 2021.
