This book explores how the often well-meaning routines and
assumptions of a generous welfare state can reflect and even
contribute to the stigmatisation of refugees and Muslims in Europe
today. While the main cases are from Sweden, examples are included
from the UK, France, Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands. Mark
Graham examines how suspicion is woven into the fabric of welfare
bureaucracies with potential adverse consequences for the people
they serve. He complicates our understanding of what Islamophobia
means, and how it is expressed and created, by exploring contexts
in which the logic of "othering" Muslims operates, but where
explicit Islamophobia itself is absent. The book starts with
Swedish public-sector bureaucracies and attempts by staff to make
sense of Muslim refugee clients with categories and models that
reappear in wider society. It goes on to explore the logic of
integration policies, official concepts of culture, Swedish
multiculturalism, educational strategies in schools, and debates
surrounding "genuine" and "false" refugees. In all cases, the
homologies between these different socio-cultural domains are
explored.
