Summary: | This article discusses women's narratives of racializing from European perspectives. It argues that women's stories reveal a silent sub-plot underneath Europe's master narrative about itself as a (post-)secular space free of race. Deciphering women's bodies as sites of material-symbolic struggle, it unravels a precarious underbelly underneath Europe's selfdescription as a warrant of tolerance and emancipation and shows that dominant European identity discourses draw on theological imaginaries that allow to position white men as saviours in order to distribute capital (economic and otherwise) along gendered and racialized lines. |
