Race in Sweden

<p><em>Race in Sweden</em> is an introduction to, and a critical investigation of, the Swedish relationship to <i>race </i>in the post-war and contemporary eras. This relationship is fundamentally shaped by an ideology of <i>colourblindness</i>, with any kind of race talk being taboo in public discourse and everyday language use, and in practice forbidden in official and institutional language.</p><p>A study of a country which was until recently strikingly white but has become extremely diverse, yet where the legacy of Swedish whiteness co-exists with a radical, colourblind, antiracist ideology, <i>Race in Sweden </i>will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and humanities with interests in race and ethnicity, whiteness and Nordic studies.</p><p>Chapters 2 and 3 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.</p>
