Summary: | Publisher's version (útgefin grein) The discussion draws from recent writing on the meaning of ‘whiteness’ in the Nordic countries, emphasizing the importance to understand racialization in different localities. Racism is entangled with affective meanings related to discourse of the nation, furthermore, as shaped by global discourses and class. The discussion exemplifies this in the context of migrants from Lithuania in Iceland, demonstrating how they become racialized in Iceland during the boom period in the early 2000s. The funding for this project was received from Rannís - The Icelandic Center for Resarch (130426-051). The finalizing of the article took place within the Project of Excellence funded by Rannís in 2016 (163350-051). Peer Reviewed |
