Scandinavian societies have historically, and problematically, been
understood as homogeneous, when in fact they have a long history of
ethnic and cultural pluralism due to colonialism and territorial
conquest. After World War II, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway all
became destinations for an increasingly diverse stream of migrants
and asylum seekers from war-torn countries around the globe,
culminating in the 2015-16 "refugee crisis." This multidisciplinary
volume opens with an overview of how the three countries' current
immigration policies developed and evolved, then expands to address
how we might understand the current contexts and the social
realities of immigration and diversity on the ground. Drawing from
personal experiences and theoretical perspectives in such varied
fields as sociology, political science, literature, and media
studies, nineteen scholars assess recent shifts in Scandinavian
societies and how they intertwine with broader transformations in
Europe and beyond. Chapters explore a variety of topics, including
themes of belonging and identity in Norway, the experiences and
activism of the Nordic countries' Indigenous populations, and
parallels between the racist far-right resurgence in Sweden and the
United States. Contributors: Ellen A. Ahlness, Julie K. Allen,
