Developing the theoretical understanding of political activism under the neoliberal turn in racial capitalism and the increasingly hostile political environment towards migrants and racialised minorities, the book investigates the conditions, forms and visions of postethnic activism in three Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden and Finland). It connects the historical legacies of European colonialism to the current configurations of racial politics and global capitalism. The book compellingly argues that contrary to the tendencies of neoliberal post-racialism to de-politicise social inequalities the activists are re-politicising questions of race, class and gender in new ways. The book is of interest to scholars and students in sociology, ethnic and racial studies, cultural studies, feminist studies and urban studies"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher Subject Minority activists -- Scandinavia Minorities -- Political activity -- Scandinavia Minorities -- Scandinavia -- Social conditions Social movements -- Scandinavia Racism -- Scandinavia Neoliberalism -- Social aspects -- Scandinavia Other (Philosophy) -- Social aspects -- Scandinavia Minorities -- Political activity Minorities -- Social conditions Minority activists Politics and government Race relations Racism Social movements SUBJECT Scandinavia -- Race relations Scandinavia -- Politics and government -- 1945- http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85117953 Subject Scandinavia Form Electronic book LC no. 2021060864 ISBN 9781003002031 100300203X
