Description
In the new issue of Race & Class, three distinguished academics from Sweden’s Institute for Research on Migration, Ethnicity and Society, examine the 2013 ‘riots’ in Sweden, comparing these to the August 2011 ‘riots’ in the UK, and similar disturbances across the French banlieues in 2005.
