A compelling examination of Sweden's African and Black diaspora
Contemporary Sweden is a country with a worldwide progressive
reputation, despite an undeniable tradition of racism within its
borders. In the face of this contradiction of culture and history,
Afro-Swedes have emerged as a vibrant demographic presence, from
generations of diasporic movement, migration, and homemaking. In
Afro-Sweden, Ryan Thomas Skinner uses oral histories, archival
research, ethnography, and textual analysis to explore the history
and culture of this diverse and growing Afro-European community.
Skinner employs the conceptual themes of "remembering" and
"renaissance" to illuminate the history and culture of the
Afro-Swedish community, drawing on the rich theoretical traditions
of the African and Black diaspora. Remembering fosters a sustained
meditation on Afro-Swedish social history, while Renaissance
indexes a thriving Afro-Swedish public culture. Together, these
concepts illuminate significant existential modes of Afro-Swedish
being and becoming, invested in and contributing to the work of
global Black studies. The first scholarly monograph in English to
focus specifically on the African and Black diaspora in Sweden,
Afro-Sweden emphasizes the voices, experiences, practices,
knowledge, and ideas of these communities. Its rigorously
interdisciplinary approach to understanding diasporic communities
is essential to contemporary conversations around such issues as
the status and identity of racialized populations in Europe and the
international impact of Black Lives Matter.
