Racialization and Racism in Denmark

Abstract

Our ambition with this special issue on “Raciali-zation and Racism in Denmark” is to support and expand critical and generative engagements with how racialization and racism continue to infl u-ence, structure, and operate in a Danish context, including the territories and areas that are con-nected to Denmark through (post)colonial ties. We initiated work on the special issue in the spring of 2021, and while it responds to calls for more crit-ical scholarship on colonialism, decolonialization, racialization, and (anti)racism across many fi elds, including those of gender and feminist studies in the Nordic countries, it also refl ects how such re-search is gathering pace.
