It is a book that points to why and how Sweden is to be included in global decolonial struggles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweden is often displayed as an ethnoracially homogenous country without any colonial history: an open and tolerant human rights champion, anti-racist, anti-colonial, and in solidarity with the Global South. For over twenty years, authors Michael McEachrane and Louis Faye have been challenging this account, pointing to Sweden's involvement in colonial histories and legacies, its racialized nationhood, and embedded colonial structures. This important new book reflects a decolonial turn in research, emphasizing that coloniality is far from over, and that challenging global injustices remains an unfinished and open-ended process. Chapters in the book consider the resistance of the Sámi people to Swedish colonialism, whether Sweden owes the Caribbean reparations for its colonization of Saint Barthélemy and involvement in the transatlantic trade, Sweden's involvement in a colonial global economy, and how white European identification is embedded in Swedish politics, nation-building, and society. Engaging and insightful, \u003cem\u003e Decolonial Sweden\u003c\/em\u003e invites readers to reconsider Swedish attitudes toward race, colonialism, and international relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is an essential read for Post- and Decolonial scholars and students of Critical Race Studies, Critical Indigenous Studies, Africana Studies, International Relations, Global Development, and Political Science, as well as for anyone interested in Sweden's place in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael McEachrane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032500336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032500331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.70d","brand":"Michael McEachrane","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113242505471,"sku":"9781032500331","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f80b630b-3ab1-4d15-b33c-21e7781b47e8.jpg?v=1769613855","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/decolonial-sweden-michael-mceachrane-9781032500331","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
