Race in Sweden: Racism and Antiracism in the World’s First ‘Colourblind’ Nation
2023 (English)Book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]
Race in Sweden is an introduction to, and a critical investigation of, the Swedish relationship to race in the post-war and contemporary eras. This relationship is fundamentally shaped by an ideiology of colourblindness, with any kind of race talk is being taboo in public discourse and everyday language, and in practice forbidden in official and instituional language.
A study of a country which was until recently strikingly white but has become extremely diverse, yet where the legacy of Swedish whiteness co-exist with a radical, colourblind, antiracist, ideology. Race in Sweden will appeal to scholars across the social science and humanities with interests in race and ethnicity, whiteness and Nordic studies.
