Abstract

Close
- In the context of Swedish anti-segregation strategies and area-based policies, this article critically examines how parliamentary motions create and reproduce a racialised understanding of housing segregation. A close examination of political language reveals a predominantly negative framing of both people and place, where already stigmatised areas are demonised as segregated places where the ‘immigrants’ live. In particular, the disadvantaged position of many of the residents in stigmatised areas is expressed through a consistent construction of non-‘Swedishness’; of not being considered part of Sweden based on perceived cultural difference framed as an individual or spatial attribute. In addition, the condition of not belonging is believed to merge with a condition of ‘utanförskap’, (‘outsiderness’). Despite the ideological differences between the various political parties, de-colonisation is still lacking in the Swedish political discourse on ethnic residential segregation.
