This is great news...
Early next year Penguin Books will publish 'Afropean: Documenting Black Europe' by Afropean co-founder Johny Pitts.
One of the reasons Johny wrote the book (and set up Afropean with Nat Illumine and Yomi Bazuaye) was to create a network of like minded people across the continent. At the end of the book, Johny would like to create a list of Afro-European-related organisations to increase exposure of the work they are doing. Please list any community organisations, online networks or initiatives from your country for consideration.
And if you'd like updates about the book please remember to subscribe to our mailing list: (at the bottom left of this page): http://afropean.com/contact/

ABØUT
The Afropean is an online multimedia, multidisciplinary journal exploring the social, cultural and aesthetic interplay of black and European cultures, and the synergy of styles and ideas brought about because of this union. In 2014 Afropean was invited to be part of The Guardian Newpaper’s Africa Network.
We hope to fill the void left by Erik Kambel’s Afro-Europe blog, which closed down in 2013, and, under Erik’s guidance we will continue to shed light on art, music, literature, news and events from the Afro-European diaspora, as well as produce and commission original essays and projects.
WHY THE Ø ?
We aren’t suggesting you attempt to pronounce our ‘Ø’ in Afropean as they do in Scandinavia. Ø is also a symbol used in mathematics to denote ‘diameter’, often shortened to ‘dia’, from the Greek, meaning ‘between, through, across’. Dia is also the root word of ‘diaspora’. Spora means ‘to scatter’. We sometimes feel between cultures, we certainly travel through them, and we aim to be across all the diaspora news. But we hope we aren’t scattered. On the contrary, Afropean is all about bringing everything and everyone together.
