Kosmopolitisk svenskhet mellan det nationella och det globala
Med utgångspunkt i begreppen vit kosmopolitism och vit kosmopolitisk femininitet analyseras i denna artikel ’kosmopolitiska berättelser’ av svenska kvinnor som bott utomlands under en längre period och så småningom återvänt till Sverige. Baserat på åtta månaders etnografiskt arbete, inklusive 46 djupintervjuer med kvinnor som har återvänt till Sverige, undersöker artikeln hur nationella gränser både bibehålls och överskrids i konstruktionen av ko…
Vithet som transnationellt kapital
I den här artikeln ställs Bourdieus analytiska begrepp kulturellt kapital i dialog med ras- och vithetsforskningen och migrationsforskningen. I fokus står vita migranter med en erkänd uppsättning privilegier avseende nationalitet, medborgarskap, och kompetens; tillgångar som öppnar för nya sätt att producera och reproducera kulturella, sociala och ekonomiska former av kapital. Som objektiverat och institutionaliserat kulturellt kapital finns vith…
Race in Sweden
Race in Sweden is an introduction to, and a critical investigation of, the Swedish relationship to race in the post-war and contemporary eras. This relationship is fundamentally shaped by an ideiology of colourblindness, with any kind of race talk is being taboo in public discourse and everyday language, and in practice forbidden in official and instituional language. A study of a country which was until recently strikingly white but has become e…
The emergence and development of the world's first colourblind nation
This chapter chronicles how Sweden emerged as the world’s most colourblind state formation by examining the Swedish critique of the concept of race, which ultimately led to the tabooisation and public elimination of the very word itself. The chapter follows three themes – namely, the Swedish critique of race and how it is steeped in a race biological understanding of the term, the construction of Swedish values and in the end of Swedishness itsel…
The Routledge International Handbook of New Critical Race and Whiteness Studies
Since its foundation as an academic field in the 1990s, critical race theory has developed enormously and has, among others, been supplemented by and (dis)integrated with critical whiteness studies. At the same time, the field has moved beyond its origins in Anglo-Saxon environments, to be taken up and re-developed in various parts of the world – leading to not only new empirical material but also new theoretical perspectives and analytical appro…
We Foreigners Lived In Our Foreign Bubble”
Racial colorblindness—the desire to not “see color”—or avoiding any use of the term “race” itself, has been an antiracist imperative in post‐WWII Sweden in order to leave behind the prior era of eugenics and racial thinking. Through a multi‐sited linguistic ethnographic study, this article examines how 46 returning Swedish expatriate women talk about race and whiteness in race‐related experiences and interactions, using colorblind language. By an…

White Women. White Nation. White Cosmopolitanism
Emerging from the concepts of white cosmopolitanism and white cosmopolitan femininity, this article analyses “cosmopolitan narratives” of Swedish migrant women who lived abroad for an extended period and eventually returned to Sweden. Based on eight months’ ethnographic work, including 46 in-depth interviews with migrants who had returned in Sweden, the article explores how national boundaries are both maintained and traversed in the construction…
Creating ‘international communities’ in southern Spain
This article examines intra-European relations in narratives of Swedish lifestyle migrants living permanently or part-time on the Spanish Sun Coast. It pays particular attention to the complexities of Swedish migrants’ cultural identities and patterns of self-segregation in the Spanish society by investigating the following questions: How do boundaries of social networks that Swedish lifestyle migrants participate in, or interrelate, with a sense…

Returning migrant women’s encounters of Swedish gender equality in policy and in practiceThis article discusses the experiences of Swedish migrant women who are returning to Sweden after having lived abroad for a period of their lives.

The White Side of Migration
The migrant' tends to be imagined as a non-privileged, non-white, non-western subject in search of a better future in Europe or the United States and as such is a pre-constituted subject shaped by notions of marginalization and poverty. What kinds of stories are obscured by this recurrent image of 'the migrant' and how do such categorizations hamper the analysis of privilege, belonging and white normativity within studies of migration? Why are so…
Doing Similarity in a White-Women’s Network
Having spent my first dinner party as a participant observer, or perhaps more correctly as an observant participant, in SWEA in southern California, I was clearly relieved when Silvia, one of the leading figures in the local network, officially acknowledged my ‘fitting perfectly’ in the group. After having spent weeks trying to get access to the network I was finally invited to the network’s local chapter, in the role of a researcher, for a tradi…

Three phases of hegemonic whiteness
After the election in Sweden in 2010, the racist Sweden Democrats party entered parliament. Post-election reactions and discussions were largely preoccupied with the issue of how the presence of a racist party in the Swedish parliament disturbs the country's exceptionalist image and privileged position – both in the West and in the non-Western world – as humanity's avant-garde and beacon for antiracism. This article aims to understand the current…

On the basis of 13 in-depth interviews with Swedish women and one month of ethnographic work in the Swedish community in Singapore in 2009, this article examines how Swedish women, travelling from Sweden to Singapore as 'expatriate wives' in the wake of their Swedish husbands, navigate gendered and racialised transnational spaces of domestic work and negotiating their changed identities as both housewives and employers of live-in maids in the hou…

This article examines Swedish migrant women to the United States. It asks how racially privileged European migrants adapt to US racial and gender hierarchies that require them to relinquish their economic security and gender autonomy in a neoliberal state? Drawing upon interviews and focus group discussions with 33 Swedish women and three of their spouses, and participant observation between 2006 and 2008 in a network for Swedish speaking women l…

White Ethnography
This article discusses methodological dilemmas in ethnographic research with first-generation Swedish migrant women living in the United States. From a (white) Swedish researcher perspective, it seeks to disentangle aspects of shared privileges between researcher and participants and constructions of white spaces in a non-Swedish context. What does it mean to pass as a white, middle-class Swede in research, and how are white privileges being uphe…
Okay, but we are not whores you know’
The use of the term ‘whore’ is commonly directed at young women, and has, for this reason, been widely debated in the Swedish media and elsewhere. In the article, I focus on Latina girls’ experiences of being called ‘whores’ in Sweden. Individual interviews and focus group discussions were used for generation of data. Their narratives are analysed from a perspective that highlights how gender and ethnicity intersect in this highly sexualized word…

Women with Class
This paper examines gender- and nation-specific forms of capital through migration. It focuses on first-generation Swedish women moving to a new social and political landscape in the USA, typically from upper- and middle-class environments in Sweden. Their migratory experiences are used as a departure to analyse how former class positions are being re-enacted (or not) in the neo-liberal USA. The study, conducted from 2006 to 2008, is based on in-…

Their specific migratory experiences are used as a departure to analyze the ways in which gender- and nation-specific forms of c…

People take for granted that you know how to dance Salsa and Merengue
In recent years US-based Latin culture has gained worldwide popularity through artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Shakira and Ricky Martin. Taking the national context as an emerging vantage point from which to consider globalization processes, this article explores the growing popularity of ‘Latin music’ as a specific contemporary expression of global popular culture and its impact on young Latina women's everyday lives and identity work in Sweden.…
