Twintig jaar na haar vorige bezoek aan de stad Nairobi (Kenia), stootte de auteur op een merkwaardige verandering: op de ‘Taveta Road’ – een winkelstraat waar in 1994 veel Aziatische en Afrikaanse mannen winkelkraampjes uitbaatten – stonden nu bijna uitsluitend vrouwen handel te drijven. Dit werd de aanzet voor een onderzoek naar het leven van vrouwen in Afrikaanse steden. 
Vele Afrikaanse (Sub-Sahara) steden lijken op samengeperste “slums’, waar de woon- en levenskwaliteit zeer rudimentair zijn. Heel wat vrouwelijke inwoners zijn actief binnen de informele economie, maar de stad biedt hen weinig accommodatie. Volgens stadsontwikkelaars zou de informele economie mettertijd moeten verdwijnen, maar deze “straathandel” is juist eigen aan de Afrikaanse cultuur! Het wordt er aanzien als een vorm van solidair ondernemerschap, waar ‘slachtoffers’ van het neoliberalisme alsnog een toevlucht en een inkomen kunnen vinden.

"European Others offers an interrogation into the position of racialized communities in the European Union, arguing that the tension between a growing nonwhite, non-Christian population and insistent essentialist definitions of Europeanness produces new forms of identity and activism. Moving beyond disciplinary and national limits, Fatima El-Tayeb explores structures of resistance, tracing a Europeanization from below in which migrant and minority communities challenge the ideology of racelessness that places them firmly outside the community of citizens. Using a notable variety of sources, from drag performances to feminist Muslim activism and Euro hip-hop, El-Tayeb draws on the largely ignored archive of vernacular culture central to resistance by minority youths to the exclusionary nationalism that casts them as threatening outcasts. At the same time, she reveals the continued effect of Europe's suppressed colonial history on the representation of Muslim minorities as the illiberal Other of progressive Europe. Presenting a sharp analysis of the challenges facing a united Europe seen by many as a model for twenty-first-century postnational societies, El-Tayeb combines theoretical influences from both sides of the Atlantic to lay bare how Europeans of color are integral to the continent's past, present, and, inevitably, its future." --
