The paper argues that, at least since the European expansion into the Americas, inequalities have been the result of transnational processes arising from transregional entanglements between shifting metropolitan and peripheral areas. To this end, the paper uses the example of the Caribbean as Europe's first colonial backyard in order to show the historical continuities between creolization as a term originally coined to describe processes specific to the Caribbean and what is being analyzed today under the label of the transnationalization of (Western) Europe. The paper subsequently claims that theorizing the continuum of structures of power linking colonialism to (post)coloniality is an essential element of the endeavor of creolizing Europe.В современном понимании предполагается, что трансформация паттернов неравенства обусловливает цикл «новых» феноменов, которые с необходимостью порождают новые понятия, такие как «европеизация» и «транснационализация» социального неравенства. Автор статьи показывает, что, по крайней мере, начиная с периода европейской экспансии в Америке, неравенство было результатом транснациональных процессов, связанных с трансрегиональными связями между подвижными областями метрополии и периферии. В статье на примере Карибских островов - «первого колониального заднего двора Европы» - показана историческая преемственность между «креолизацией» как термином, первоначально созданным для описания карибских процессов, и того, что сегодня анализируется под маркой «транснационализации» (Западной) Европы. В работе доказывается, что осмысление продолжающихся структур власти, связывающих колониализм с (пост)колониальностью - необходимый элемент задачи креолизации Европы.inequalitytransnationalizationtransgressional flowscreolizationcolonialism(post)colonialityнеравенствотранснационализациятрансрегиональные потокикреолизацияколониализм(пост)колониальность[Wimmer, Andreas/Glick Schiller, Nina.
