The author discusses how religious groups, especially Jews, Mormons
and Jesuits, were labeled as foreign and constructed as political,
moral and national threats in Scandinavia in different periods
between c. 1790 and 1960. Key questions are who articulated such
opinions, how was the threat depicted, and to what extent did it
influence state policies towards these groups. A special focus is
given to Norway, because the Constitution of 1814 included a ban
against Jews (repelled in 1851) and Jesuits (repelled in 1956), and
because Mormons were denied the status of a legal religion until
freedom of religion was codified in the Constitution in 1964. The
author emphasizes how the construction of religious minorities as
perils of society influenced the definition of national identities
in all Scandinavia, from the late 18th Century until well after
WWII. The argument is that Jews, Mormons and Jesuits all were
constructed as "anti-citizens", as opposites of what it meant to be
"good" citizens of the nation. The discourse that framed the need
for national protection against foreign religious groups was
transboundary. Consequently, transnational stereotypes contributed
significantly in defining national identities.
