Solidarity or Barbarism

A Europe of Diversity Against Ethnic Cleansing. Translated from the Italian by Alfonso Montuori.

This volume shows the history of Europe since the Middle Ages as a dialectic between the forces of homogenization, or purification, and the forces of diversity. This volume traces the multiple and complex roots of European peoples, and contrasts this pluralism with the recurring tragedy of «ethnic cleansing», a tragedy which the authors argue has been all too common in European history. By presenting a new perspective on Europe's origins, the authors open the possibility for a new vision of a complex, heterogeneous Europe based on partnership and cooperation.
