The Open Access version of this book, available at
https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781315122328, has been made
available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No
Derivatives 4.0 license. This book 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.
