Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 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 approaches. Gathering these new and global perspectives, this book presents a much-needed collection of the various forms, sophisticated theoretical developments and nuanced analyses that the field of critical race and whiteness theories and studies offers today. Organized around the themes of emotions, technologies, consumption, institutions, crisis, identities and on the margin, this presentation of critical race and whiteness theories and studies in its true interdisciplinary and international form provides the latest empirical and theoretical research, as well as new analytical approaches. Illustrating the strength of the field and embodying its future research directions, The Routledge International Handbook of New Critical Race and Whiteness Studies will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and humanities with interests in race and whiteness.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In these concluding remarks, we reflect upon and envision the possible future of the notion of race in Sweden. We foresee a continued emergence of the new multiracial and super-diverse Sweden. Following this, the maintenance and defence of the colourblind hegemony of contemporary public life in Sweden must inevitably become more and more challenging as inequalities continue to grow and segregation structured by race eventually becomes impossible to ignore. Thus, while the colourblind fantasy of post-1968 Sweden lives on, and provides cover for the emergence of an increasingly emboldened far right, we suggest that things must change. We, therefore, express our hope that coming generations of Swedes will break with the current white melancholy period. Instead, we hope that tomorrow’s Swedish antiracists, white and non-white alike, will be both more willing and more capable to engage with the concept of race, the language of race and the lived reality of race in a more substantial and critical way.

Introduction

In: Race in Sweden. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9781032385891 - 9781003345763 - 9781000885538 ; , s. 1-11

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Sweden has a paradoxical history when it comes to race, as a term, as a concept and as a lived reality. In this introduction, we provide a short background on the life of the concept of race in Swedish culture and language within the last century. In addition, we introduce some key concepts and outline the aim and central arguments of the book. From its role as a pioneering nation in race science in the earlier parts of the 20th century, Sweden was equally as pioneering in the latter parts in deracialising public life and discourse, embracing a hegemonic, normative colourblindness. In today’s Sweden, neither conservatives nor progressives, and neither xenophobes nor antiracists can talk about race and hope to be taken seriously. However, things may be in the process of changing, in a situation of escalating tensions between an increasingly superdiversified Swedish population and the emergence of a revitalised far right. In the introduction, we outline six empirically focused chapters which constitute analyses and case studies of both historical and contemporary materials aiming to shed light on some of the most important and pernicious articulations of Swedish colourblindness in a time when this doctrine is becoming increasingly untenable.

Race in Sweden : Racism and antiracism in the world's first 'colourblind' nation
- 2023
-
Book (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 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 ideology of colourblindness, with any kind of race talk being taboo in public discourse and everyday language use, and in practice forbidden in official and institutional language.A study of a country which was until recently strikingly white but has become extremely diverse, yet where the legacy of Swedish whiteness co-exists with a radical, colourblind, antiracist ideology, Race in Sweden will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and humanities with interests in race and ethnicity, whiteness and Nordic studies.

The emergence and development of the world’s first colourblind nation
- 2023
-
In: Race in Sweden. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9781032385891 - 9781003345763 - 9781000885538 ; , s. 33-65
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 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 itself as being the same as antiracist values and Sweden’s struggle to eliminate the word race also outside of its borders in relation to, for example, the UN and the EU. The chapter concludes that the Swedish colourblind project has in the end been about breaking with the old Swedish racial thinking that prevailed in Sweden during the first half of the 1900s. The country’s colourblind antiracist ideology has both been concerned with Sweden’s place in the world and in particular in relation to the non-Western world and with cleansing Sweden and the Swedes from all vestiges of racial thinking.

White melancholia : A historicised analysis of hegemonic whiteness in Sweden
- 2023
-
In: The Routledge International Handbook of New Critical Race and Whiteness Studies. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9780367637699 - 9781003120612 ; , s. 308-320
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The chapter develops an analysis of the phenomenon of white melancholia in Sweden after the ‘refugee crisis’ in 2015. White melancholia denotes how the loss of the old homogeneous and the good anti-racist Sweden produces contradictory and complex feelings among both ‘racists’ and ‘anti-racists’. Whereas Sweden has perceived itself having accomplished something of a post-racial utopia since the 1970s, the country is now facing a new reality of superdiversity, which marks the end of two different, but interrelated, hegemonic whiteness regimes. Yet, colour-blindness is still hegemonic and issues of race and whiteness are taboo subjects. The authors regard contemporary Sweden as a white nation in crisis and diagnose Swedish whiteness as suffering from what can be conceptualised as a white melancholic state.

Att tala med färgblindheten : Retoriska strategier och semantiska manövrar i återvändande svenska kvinnors berättelser om ras- och vithetsrelaterade erfarenheter.
- 2023
-
In: Sveriges avrasifiering. - Karlstad : Karlstad University Press. - 9789178673315 - 9789178673308 ; , s. 293-316
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Kapitlet undersöker hur 46 svenska kvinnor, vilka under kortare eller längre tid har bott utomlands men återvänt till Sverige, försöker sätta ord på sina ras- och vithetsrelaterade migranterfarenheter trots avsaknaden av ett etablerat språk för dessa erfarenheter. Genom att analysera återvändande svenska kvinnors associationer och dissociationer mellan ras, språk och nation, blottläggs ett system av idéer och tankestrukturer som samtidigt reflekterar specifika uppfattningar om världen, såsom av olika nationers utseenden, implicita rashierarkier och västvärldens befolkningssammansättning. En analys av färgblindhetens språk visar vidare hur specifika kategorier kan få diametralt motsatta innebörder i skilda kontexter. Begrepp som invandrare och utlänning kan exempelvis ges olika betydelser och innehåll beroende på om de relateras till vita eller icke-vita. För denna grupp av svenska kvinnor filtreras vitheten genom markörer, som det blonda håret, liksom av svenskheten i sig, och uttrycks genom både direkta och indirekta val av sociala relationer. Den synliga vitheten som kvinnorna bär med sig förknippas med en oönskad känsla av skillnad, liksom med en uppsättning outtalade privilegier.

Feminismen och de dåliga vita kvinnorna
- 2024
-
In: Dagens Arena. - Stockholm : Arenagruppen. - 1652-0556.
-
Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Efter femtio år av inomfeministisk kritik har svarta feminister i USA tröttnat på att hänga ut den vita kvinnan som feminismens ”bad object”. Fokuset på vita kvinnors rasism har nått en återvändsgränd, menar de, och frågar sig varför det svarta patriarkatet så ofta saknas i intersektionella maktanalyser. För att komma till rätta med våldet mot svarta kvinnor hjälper det ju inte att peka på vita kvinnors potentiella rasism. Catrin Lundström ser en cirkel slutas.

Hur rasismen fick ett kvinnligt ansikte

In: Parabol. - Stockholm : Parabol Press. - 2004-7355. ; :3

Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Rasismen har fått ett kvinnligt ansikte. Hon kan heta Karen, Becky, den tysta vita kvinnan, den sköra vita kvinnan, den gråtande vita kvinnan, den vita patriarkala kvinnan, den vita feministen. Inom akademin anses den vita kvinnan numera vara huvudproblemet. Det här har gjort att den vite mannen kunnat segla upp som den brune mannens räddare. Det här är långt ifrån vad Spivak menade, skriver Catrin Lundström.

Men nej, när postkoloniala protester likställer kvinnor och män i kritiken mot samtida imperialism är det snarare en upprepning av historiens misogyni, menar Catrin Lundström.

The modern history of Swedish whiteness and Swedish race relations

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The chapter presents a historicised analysis and chronological outline of the modern history of hegemonic whiteness in Sweden. This analysis provides an overall framework for the present book by forming a critical account of how Swedish race relations have evolved over time within the last century. We divide the modern history of whiteness in Sweden into three periods, which can also be thought of as phases or regimes, of hegemonic whiteness, each characterised by a number of specific tendencies, developments and confluences. Firstly, we describe the white purity period of white homogeneous Sweden, 1905–1968, most notably characterised by the foundation of the State Institute for Race Biology. Secondly, we describe the white solidarity period of white progressive Sweden,1968–2001, during which period Swedish colourblindness emerged and grew into dominance, culminating in the elimination of the word race from public life. Thirdly, we outline the white melancholy period of a white nation in crisis from 2001 and onwards as a time characterised by a sense of things falling apart, including both white homogenous Sweden and white progressive Sweden.

White Capital : A Transnational Story
- 2024. - 1
-
In: The Routledge International Handbook of Transnational Studies. - London : Routledge. - 9781032360355 - 9781003329978 ; , s. 119-130
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The concept of white capital corresponds to embodied and institutionalized forms of cultural capital, possible to convert across social space. The value of such white capital depends on context, history, and power. Bodies that qualify as white can usually move and cross borders with ease. This includes white, Western migrants who tend to arrive with a set of privileges in terms of class, nationality, citizenship, and profession that open up new ways of producing and re-producing cultural and other forms of capital. Privileges of whiteness connected to institutions, passports, or bodies are, accordingly, contingent forms of capital for migrants who are socially classified as white. In the wake of a globalized history of race and European colonialism, however, white groups are positioned differently. Thus, not all whitenesses are recognized as transnational white capital. Whereas white Western migrants have access to mobility rights, orientations, and opportunities, Argentinian, Japanese, or Iranian whitenesses are not necessarily identified and/or convertible as capital transnationally. In this logic, whiteness as cultural capital is intertwined with histories of postcolonial racial structures and contemporary neoliberal forms of globalization, meaning that some kinds of white capital are local or intersect with ideas about national belonging, while others are transnational and transferable forms of capital outside their national contexts.
