critically engages with dominant ideas of cultural homogeneity in
the Nordic countries and contests the notion of homogeneity as a
crucial determinant of social cohesion and societal security.
Showing how national identities in the Nordic region have developed
historically around notions of cultural and racial homogeneity, it
exposes the varied histories of migration and the longstanding
presence of ethnic minorities and indigenous people in the region
that are ignored in dominant narratives. With attention to the
implications of notions of homogeneity for the everyday lives of
migrants and racialised minorities in the region, as well as the
increasing securitisation of those perceived not to be part of the
homogenous nation, this volume provides detailed analyses of how
welfare state policies, media, and authorities seek to manage and
govern cultural, religious, and racial differences. With studies of
national minorities, indigenous people and migrants in the analysis
of homogeneity and difference, it sheds light on the agency of
minorities and the intertwining of securitisation policies with
notions of culture, race, and religion in the government of
difference. As such it will appeal to scholars and students in
social sciences and humanities with interests in race and
ethnicity, migration, postcolonialism, Nordic studies,
multiculturalism, citizenship, and belonging.
