Recenzje

"The book can be recommended to everyone who is studying and who is engaged with issues of racism in the Nordic countries and whether inside or outside the academia as the chapters taken together offer the reader a relatively comprehensive overview of how race operates in different ways in contemporary Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland." (Tobias Hübinette, Nordic Journal of Migration Research NJMR, Vol. 9 (2), 2019)
