Crisis and Coloniality at Europe's Margins: Creating Exotic Iceland
provides a fresh look at the current politics of identity in
Europe, using a crisis at the margins of Europe to shed light on
the continued embeddedness of coloniality in everyday aspirations
and identities. Examining Iceland's response to its collapse into
bankruptcy in 2008, the author explores the way in which the
country sought to brand itself as an exotic tourist destination.
With attention to the nation's aspirations, rooted in the late 19th
century, of belonging as part of Europe, rather than being
classified with colonized countries, the book examines the
engagement with ideas of otherness across and within Europe, as
European discourses continue to be based on racialized ideas of
'civilized' people. With its focus on coloniality at a time of
crisis, this volume contributes to our understanding of how racism
endures in the present and the significance of nationalistic
sentiments in a world of precariousness. Anchored in part in
personal narrative, this critical analysis of coloniality, racism,
whiteness and national identities will appeal to scholars across
the social sciences with interests in national identity-making,
European politics and race in a world characterised by crisis.
