This book explores contemporary Danish relations of colonial
complicity in welfare work with newly arrived refugees (1978-2016)
as recursive histories that reveal new shapes and shades of racism.
Focussing on super- and subordination in helping relations of
postcoloniality, the book displays the durability of coloniality
and the workings of raceless racism in welfare work with refugees.
Its main contribution is the excavation of stock stories of
colour-blindness, potentialising and compassion, which help welfare
workers invest in burying that which keeps haunting welfare work
with refugees, i.e., modern ghosts of difference, docility and
dignity. The book dismantles the global myth of the Danish
benevolent, universalistic welfare state and it is of interest to
every scholar and student, who wants to make inquiries about Danish
exceptionalism and the hidden interaction between past and present,
the visible and invisible in Danish welfare work with refugees.
