Abstract
“Africa is not a Country” is a slogan that opposes reducing the African reality to an overly simplistic narration. Starting from the concept of Orientalism and its homonymous work from Said, I will try to tackle instances that tend to flatten the European reality into the exclusive perception of the colonial legacy. I want to reflect on the borders of the “abyssal line,” showing how Chakrabarty's discourse on provincializing Europe cannot be completed until we abandon this monolithic vision and manage to re-think Europe as europes, uncapitalized and in the plural form, to embrace the whole declination of European possibilities and taking off epistemic privileges from this area of the world and gaining a cultural province of the world-literary landscape.
