Research output: Contribution to book/anthology/report/conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Chapter 1 conveys some of the crucial changes in the Nordic scene and some of the central forces global populism and enhanced inequalities that are played out also in the Nordic countries. The chapter explains how the authors, who are researchers of racism and racialization, are responding to the changing conditions around them. This includes reflections on their discomfort with how different groups are racialized, especially in the critical media events and incidents saturated with unspoken and outspoken racist slurs and racializing thought.
