Opis

This book examines the ways in which mixed ethnic identities in Scandinavia are formed along both cultural and embodied lines, arguing that while the official discourses in the region refer to a ‘post-racial’ or ‘color blind’ era, color still matters in the lives of people of mixed ethnic descent.

Recenzje

"This book is of a significant contribution to the global mixed race literature, being the first Norwegian contribution in the field. The book consists of rich theoretical discussions with empirical material. The book is recommended to all scholars and students interested in the question of not only race and ethnicity in the Nordic context but also mixed identity and experiences in a global perspective." - Sayaka Osanami Törngren - Malmö University, Sweden
