Beskrivning

As racial boundaries are constantly negotiated in Europe and across the globe, this book explores how Russian migrant workers navigate racial capitalism in the Nordic region.Challenging the idea of a ‘race-neutral’ Eastern Europe, the book reveals how Russian migrants actively claim whiteness, often finding themselves on the margins of acceptability. Uniquely combining postsocialist and postcolonial perspectives, the author examines how these migrants, seeking recognition as European, reinforce economic and racial divides shaped by global capitalism.This timely work offers fresh insights into race, migration and the boundaries of whiteness across Europe’s borders.

Recensioner i media

'This is a masterful contribution to Critical Whiteness studies, as well as to postcolonial and decolonial scholarship and activism.Through a novel yet methodical feminist framework, inspired by the literature on racial capitalism, disparate threads are braided into a cohesive, persuasive argument.' Irene Molina, Uppsala University.
