What and where and who is Europe? This unique collection contends that Europe
cannot be defined as simply a particular geographic location or a group of
citizens who inhabit the same place and share a culture. Instead, Europe is a
question to be answered by the teachers and students who study it. A
collaborative and multidisciplinary collection, Engaging Europe explores Europe
through history, literature, philosophy, music, and ethical narratives. A set of
imaginative contributors investigates European identity through a variety of
cases, including Greece and Rome, the Bible, the Enlightenment, and the Shoah.
