European unity is a dream that has appealed to the imagination since the Middle Ages. Its motives have varied from a longing for peace to a deep-rooted abhorrence of diversity, as well as a yearning to maintain Europe’s colonial dominance. This book offers a multifaceted history that takes in account the European imagination in a global context.
