Afro-Nordic Landscapes: Equality And Race In Northern Europe (Routledge Studies On African And Black Diaspora)

This volume examines the growing presence of Africans and people of African descent in the Nordic countries in relation to national identities, racism and diaspora. The book covers a broad range of topics such as the history of jazz in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, the existential predicament of being a mixed-race black Swedish woman, and Diasporas from the Horn of Africa in the Nordic countries. As Paul Gilroy writes in his foreword, it is a book that should be studied with care and profit inside the Nordic countries and also outside them by the broader international readership that has been established around the study of racism and 'critical race theory'.
