In deploying central insights from whiteness studies, postcolonial feminist and intersectionality theories, it shows that Nordic immigrants - Danes, Swedes, Finns, Norwegians and SaÌmi - contributed to and challenged American racism and white identity. A diverse group of immigrants, they could proclaim themselves 'hyper-white' and 'better citizens than anybody else', including Anglo-Saxons, thus taking for granted the racial bias of American citizenship and ownership rights, yet there were also various, unexpected intersections of whiteness with ethnicity, regional belonging, gender, sexuality, and political views. 'Nordic whiteness', then, was not a monolithic notion in the USA and could be challenged by other identities, which could even turn white Nordic immigrants into marginalized figures. A fascinating study of whiteness and identity among white migrants in the USA, Nordic Whiteness will appeal to scholars of sociology, history and anthropology with interests in Scandinavian studies, migration and diaspora studies and American studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Scandinavian Americans $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Scandinavian Americans $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a White people $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a White people $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Scandinavia $x History $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Scandinavia $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 6 $a AmeÌricains d'origine scandinave $x Histoire $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 19e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a AmeÌricains d'origine scandinave $x Histoire $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $x Histoire $y 19e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Racisme $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 19e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Racisme $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908690 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 650 7 $a White people $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174825 651 7 $a Scandinavia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242804 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919930 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Documents d'information. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Sverdljuk, Jana, $e editor. 700 1 $a Joranger, Terje Mikael Hasle, $e editor. 700 1 $a Jackson, Erika K., $d 1978- $e editor. 700 1 $a Kivisto, Peter, $d 1948- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Nordic whiteness and migration to the USA. $d London ; New York, NY : Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group, 2020 $z 9780429297472 $w (DLC) 2020012627 830 0 $a Studies in migration and diaspora. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100214.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E5A66E16214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
