1	Neither victim nor fetish : ‘Asian’ women and the effects of racialization in the Swedish context Hooi, Mavis January 2018 (has links) People who are racialized in Sweden as ‘Asian’—a panethnic category—come from different countries or ethnic backgrounds and yet, often face similar, gender-specific forms of discrimination which have a significant impact on their whole lives. This thesis centres women who are racialized as 'Asian', focusing on how their racialization affects, and is shaped by, their social, professional and intimate relationships, and their interactions with others—in particular, with white majority Swedes, but also other ethnic minorities. Against a broader context encompassing discourses concerning ‘Asians’ within Swedish media, art and culture, Swedish ‘non-racist’ exceptionalism and gender equality politics, the narratives of nine women are analysed through the lenses of the racializing processes of visuality and coercive mimeticism, and epistemic injustice. racialization racism Asian women Sweden Western context Nordic context panethnicity stereotypes visuality coercive mimeticism epistemic injustice narratives Critical Race Theory intersectionality everyday racism structural racism rasifiering rasism asiatiska kvinnor Sverige västerländsk kontext nordisk kontext panetnicitet stereotyper visualitet epistemisk orättvisa kritisk rasteori intersektionalitet vardagsrasism strukturell rasism Gender Studies Genusstudier Social Sciences Interdisciplinary
