The following article presents the various perceptions towards migrants from Africa from the point of view of Europeans, as well as the self-identification of Africans in Europe. A historical framework uncovers the dynamic processes of migration and identity construction, which manifests itself in convoluted terminology. The phenomenon of rendering Africans exotic together with a specific protectionist stance towards them,which persisted in Europe until the mid-20th century, delayed the interest of the social sciences and history in the category of “Africans in Europe”. Africans, treated in geographic rather than racial categories, have been present on the European continent since antiquity. Their half-century presence on the Iberian Peninsula (al-Andalus) is rarely mentioned, whilst “black” slaves are more frequently inscribed the historical memory of Europeans. Increasingly, researchers are interested in the particularly complex and challenging process of transformation of the “black native” to the “black worker-emigrant”, as well as the rise of new identities: Afro-European, Euro-African, Black French or Black British, analysed from the historical, anthropological or statistical perspectives.
