Afro-Nordic Landscapes: Equality and Race in Northern Europe
challenges a view of Nordic societies as homogenously white, and as
human rights champions that are so progressive that even the
concept of race is deemed irrelevant to their societies. The book
places African Diasporas, race and legacies of imperialism squarely
in a Nordic context. How has a nation as peripheral as Iceland been
shaped by an identity of being white? How do Black Norwegians
challenge racially conscribed views of Norwegian nationhood? What
does the history of jazz in Denmark say about the relation between
its national identity and race? What is it like to be a mixed-race
black Swedish woman? How have African Diasporans in Finland
navigated issues of race and belonging? And what does the
widespread denial of everyday racism in Nordic societies mean to
Afro-Nordics? This text is a must read for anyone interested in
issues of race in the Nordic region and Europe writ large. As Paul
Gilroy writes in his foreword, it is a book that "should be studied
with care and profit inside the Nordic countries and also outside
them by the broader international readership that has been
established around the study of racism and 'critical race theory'."
