Sob o Arco-Íris
O artigo discute a precariedade como um ponto de convergência para a resistência, assim como uma condição social ligada à transição da elite na África do Sul pós-apartheid. Concentrando-se nas forças sistêmicas que impulsionam pobreza, desigualdade e meios de subsistência precários, o artigo aborda a transformação da força de trabalho da África do Sul e seu sistema migratório desde uma gestão centralizada de trabalho não-livre pela burocracia est…
Re-imagineering the Common in Precarious Times
The paper explores movements for social transformation in precarious times of austerity, dispossessed commons and narrow nationalism; movements counterpoised to an exhausted neoliberalism on the one hand, and a neoconservative xenophobic populism on the other. Applying ‘rainbow coalition’ as generic concept it points at contours of a globally extended countermovement for social transformation, traversing ‘race’, class and gender, driven by reimag…
"Race" and the upsurge of antagonistic popular movements in Sweden
Across a crisis-stricken Europe battles rage for post-neoliberal hegemony, with"race" and "austerity" as central signifiers. One of the places where thefrontlines are most pregnant is Sweden; long perceived as a role model for itswelfare state, cultural equity and social equality. Sweden is, however, facingsocial conflicts following in the tracks of a deep transformation in terms ofwelfare cuts, racialization and growing social polarization, targ…
Reimagineering the Nation
This chapter explores the capacity of two Swedish trade union initiatives, SAC Syndicalists and LO-TCO centre, to extend solidarity to undocumented migrant workers The author asks what solidarity linkages have been established since the shift of millennia and what obstacles encountered in forging solidarity between workers with strong versus weak legal status He illuminates the emergence of a transformative form of solidarity, which may open for …
Politics of Precarity
In Politics of Precarity: Migrant Conditions, Struggles and Experiences, edited by Carl-Ulrik Schierup and Martin Bak Jørgensen, the contributing authors look into precarity. Precarity has become a buzzword in as well academia as among activist. The book depicts precarity as being both a condition and a mobilizing force for resistance. The volume asks questions that investigate conditions and resistance across diverse cases such as first generati…
Reading the Stockholm riots - a moment for social justice
This article examines the 2013 riots in Stockholm in the context of other urban rebellions across disadvantaged metropolitan neighbourhoods in the North-Atlantic region over the past three decades of neoliberal transformation. The authors discuss the consequences of securitisation and police repression, institutional racism, the corrosion of citizenship and the structuring of inequality in Swedish cities. Beyond the violence of the recent riots, …
The end of Swedish exceptionalism? Citizenship, neoliberalism and the politics of exclusion
Sweden, where some 20 per cent of the population is either foreign born or second generation, has long been known internationally as the model of a tolerant, egalitarian, multicultural welfare state, which extended substantial citizenship, welfare and labour rights to all within its borders, including immigrants. However, under the twin pressures of neoliberalism and the EU's commitment to 'managed migration', this Swedish exceptionalism has been…
Migration, Citizenship, and the European Welfare State
This book examines the current dilemmas of liberal anti-racist policies in European societies, linking two discourses that are normally quite separate in social science: immigration and ethnic relations research on the one hand, and the political economy of the welfare state on the other. Gunnar Myrdal’s questions in An American Dilemma are rephrased with reference to Europe’s current dual crisis — that of the established welfare state facing a d…
What Creed in Europe? Social Exclusion, Citizenship, and a Changing Eu Policy Agenda
During the last decade of the Twentieth Century the advanced North Atlantic economies performed in a markedly profitable way seen from the perspective of corporate business. This has neither led, however, to the impediment of a deepening social crisis, nor to the arrest of a crisis for liberal political values and norms of citizenship. On the contrary social exclusion was exacerbated, increasingly racialized and associated with immigrants and new…
Uteslutningens politiska ekonomi. Mot en transatlantisk konvergens
Political economies of exclusion: Transatlantic convergence or transatlantic split?The paper takes its point of departure in a discussion of US American theories on poverty, race and ethnic divisions of labour which have influenced current European research on poverty and social exclusion among immigrants and new ethnic minorities with immigrant background. The focus is in particular on theories of the Black US urban ghetto and its workless and w…
A European Dilemma
`America has a negro problem', the Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal stated in the introduction to his modern classic, An American Dilemma, first published in 1944. Half a century later, the so-called `immigrant problem' is moving to the top of the political agenda of EU Europe. To speak about a European dilemma in this context means to relate established European values of social solidarity and social responsibility to an increasingly ethnicised a…
The Policy Challenge of Ethnic Diversity
Paradoxes of Multiculturalism
Sweden is reputed to have the most avant-garde welfare and immigration policies in Europe. But behind this image lies a more complex reality. Recent changes are turning an explicit commitment to multiculturalism into a kind of cultural repression that conceals the structure of power underlying racial, ethnic, gender and class inequalities. Drawing fruitfully on comparisons with Britain and other European countries, Alexandra Ålund and Carl-Ulrik …
Kulturpluralismens paradoxer
Mångkulturalism är i dag en integrerad del i europeiskt politiskt liv. På somliga ställen har ett erkännande av kulturarv och bejakande av vidmakthållna etniska grupperingar utformats till en officiell och legitimerad politisk ideologi. På andra ställen spelar kulturpluralism - ideologiskt och politiskt - en oppositionell roll genom sitt hävdande av invandrares och etniska minoriteters grundläggande rätt till kulturell autonomi. Horace Kallen’s (…
Will They Still Be Dancing? Integration and Ethnic Transformation among Yugoslav Immigrants in Scandinavia
Indulged with sociological self-centeredness we have reduced vampires to mechanisms of social cohesion. Hence,we have questioned a culture, seeing vampires as what they are, the dead ones haunting
The Immigrants and the Crisis
The present economic crisis manifests itself in rising unemployment rates. All over Western Europe immigrants have been hit the hardest by unem ployment. Unemployment is especially pronounced among immigrant youth - 'the second generation' This presents a senous threat to the efforts to integrate immigrants into the Western European societies. A crisis of 'integration policy' will be intrinsically connected to a more general crisis: the crisis of…
