Sweden, Dying to be Multicultural is the book based on the best-selling documentary available on Amazon Prime. It looks at the effects of the current large wave of Middle Eastern and African immigration into Sweden. The book looks at the way out-of-control immigration affects tax solidarity, free speech and the sustainability of the welfare state. Since opening its borders a few years ago. Sweden has been getting a lot more than what it bargained for. Spread of Muslim networks under the cover of being human rights organisations. Hostility from disenfranchised working class communities who have borne the brunt of the refugee arrivals, many of whom are boys claiming to be under 18, but who in some cases have grey hair. Rumours have it that Isis is spreading activists through the refugee movements. Swedish openness was about providing atonement for the West's sins in the Middle East as well as rebalancing a population pyramid, heavily tilted towards the over 65's. But economic immigration only works if the arrivals get into employment quickly; for various reasons, including the Swedish high skills economy and the informally networked nature of Swedish life, means that the often undereducated arrivals live on social benefits and so are a burden, displacing benefits that native pensioners would have had. Immigration has steadily polarised Swedish society and this is an insider's account of every aspect of the issue from the history of the Sweden Democrat anti-immigrant party to the Stockholm-versus-rural polarity that means the elites find it hard to keep tabs on what's going on in the public mind. The terrorist attack in Stockholm in April 2017 showed that Sweden is not immune to the political and religious pressures that have affected the rest of Europe. An adjunct to the documentary of the same name, this book is your essential guide to the migration crisis that is forever transforming a formerly utopian society in northern Europe.

Scandinavian societies have historically, and problematically, been understood as homogenous, when in fact they have a long history of ethnic and cultural pluralism due to colonialism and territorial conquest. Amid global tensions around border security and refugee crises, these powerful conversations with nineteen scholars about the past, present, and future of a region in transition capture the current cultural moment.

Tackles the challenge of dismantling the multicultural model without destroying diversity in European society* Have Europeans become hostile to multiculturalism? * When people vote for anti-immigration parties, do they also support their anti-multiculturalism policies? * And are right-wing extremists becoming the storm troopers of the struggle against diversity?In recent years, European political leaders from Angela Merkel to David Cameron have discarded the term 'multiculturalism' and now express scepticism, criticism and even hostility towards multicultural ways of organising their societies. Yet they are unprepared to reverse the diversity existing in their states. These contradictory choices have different political consequences in the countries examined in this book. The future of European liberalism is being played out as multicultural notions of belonging, inclusion, tolerance and the national home are brought into question.

This open access book shows how the politics of migration affect community building in the 21st century, drawing on both retrogressive and progressive forms of mobilization. It elaborates theoretically and shows empirically how the two master frames of nostalgia and hope are used in local, national and transnational settings, in and outside conventional forms of doing politics. It expands on polarized societal processes and external events relevant for the transformation of European welfare systems and the reproduction of national identities today. It evidences the importance of gender in the narrative use of the master frames of nostalgia and hope, either as an ideological tool for right-wing populist and extreme right retrogressive mobilization or as an essential element of progressive intersectional politics of hope. It uses both comparative and single case studies to address different perspectives, and by means of various methodological approaches, the manner in which the master frames of nostalgia and hope are articulated in the politics of culture, welfare, and migration. The book is organized around three thematic sections whereby the first section deals with right-wing populist party politics across Europe, the second section deals with an articulation of politics beyond party politics by means of retrogressive mobilization, and the third and last section deals with emancipatory initiatives beyond party politics as well.

"Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition argues that ethnic influences are important for understanding the West. The prehistoric invasion of the Indo-Europeans had a transformative influence on Western Europe, inaugurating a prolonged period of what is labeled "aristocratic individualism" resulting from variants of Indo-European genetic and cultural influence. However, beginning in the seventeenth century and gradually becoming dominant was a new culture labeled "egalitarian individualism" which was influenced by preexisting egalitarian tendencies of northwest Europeans. Egalitarian individualism ushered in the modern world but may well carry the seeds of its own destruction."--Back cover.
