A Historical Perspective
Neil Carter

comparisons with Europe, the uSSr and
America
• One of the first works to be published
out of the expanding body of research on
sport and the history of medicine
This book analyses the relationship

a balanced view of the role of medicine in sport and how this
has evolved over the past two centuries.

Eurafrica
An untold History
Peo Hansen and Stefan Jonsson
• A unique treatment of a concept which
has potential impact across a range of
humanities and social science disciplines
• Sheds light on the process of European
integration, African decolonization and
the current conflictual relationship
between the continents
‘Eurafrica’ was an intellectual endeavour
and a political project from the 1920s
that saw Europe’s future survival as totally bound up with its
merger with Africa. Though the project is now largely forgotten
it continues to influence Eu policy towards Africa. This book
recovers a critical conception of the nexus between Europe and
Africa.
