Historically, an important role of museums has been to contribute to national homogenization. The book specifically deals with how the Swedish museum sector of culture and history addresses new demands from a society that is profoundly characterized by migration and cultural diversity. Besides the museums' representations of migration and cultural diversity, the book also examines how changes in the museum sector relate to general policy developments in the fields of culture, integration and minorities. The book also discusses whether and how museums are open for dialogue and collaboration with migrants and ethnic minorities and the kinds of problems museums encounter in their efforts to be more inclusive.
The Nordic Model is the 20th-century Scandinavian recipe for combining stable democracies, individual freedom, economic growth and comprehensive systems for social security. But what happens when Sweden and Finland – two countries topping global indexes for competitiveness, productivity, growth, quality of life, prosperity, and equality – start doubting themselves and their future? Is the Nordic Model at a crossroads? Historically, consensus, continuity, social cohesion, and broad social trust have been hailed as key components for the success and for the self-images of Sweden and Finland. In the contemporary, however, political debates in both countries are increasingly focused on risks...
I få städer har socialdemokraterna haft en så dominant ställning som i Landskrona under 1900-talet. Länge har också invandrare kommit dit, som arbetskraft eller på flykt undan krig och förtryck i sina ursprungsländer. Men trots arbetarrörelsens uttalade engagemang för att invandrarna ska välkomnas och integreras väl tycks främlingsfientliga strömningar ha fått ett särskilt starkt fäste i Landskrona. I Socialdemokrater möter invandrare analyserar historikern Hans Wallengren arbetarrörelsens sätt att hantera invandring, segregation och främlingsfientlighet i Landskrona efter 1945. Han blottlägger attityder, handlingar och tänkesätt som påverkat arbetet och format arbe...

Wie kann Evaluation als Instrument einer reflexiv geprägten demokratischen Gesellschaft dem Kulturbereich nützen? Anhand der Evaluationspraxis von öffentlichen Theatern werden Methoden, Prozesse, Funktionen und Wirkungen von Evaluation analysiert. Sowohl organisational implementierte Evaluationsprozesse als auch einzelne Evaluationen zu den Themen künstlerische Qualität, kulturelle Vielfalt, Publikumsorientierung sowie kulturelle Bildung wurden untersucht. Dabei berücksichtigt die Autorin sowohl die Perspektive der in den Theaterbetrieben tätigen Personen als auch die Perspektive der Kulturpolitik und Kulturverwaltung.

Public opinion in recent years has soured on multiculturalism, due in large part to fears of radical Islam. In Multiculturalism without Culture, Anne Phillips contends that critics misrepresent culture as the explanation of everything individuals from minority and non-Western groups do. She puts forward a defense of multiculturalism that dispenses with notions of culture, instead placing individuals themselves at its core. Multiculturalism has been blamed for encouraging the oppression of women--forced marriages, female genital cutting, school girls wearing the hijab. Many critics opportunistically deploy gender equality to justify the retreat from multiculturalism, hijacking the equality ag...
A team of seven European academics report findings from a joint research project examining how the identifications of young people from post-migration backgrounds are contextually constructed, and what factors account for this process. Centered around the civil cultures of four Western European countries--The Netherlands, Britain, Germany, and France--the project investigates ways in which the school curricula, texts, and pedagogical practices serve to transmit the ideals and preferred styles inherent in each of the civil cultures to the next generation students. The experiences of Turkish students in the four countries are compared, offering valuable insights into the changing dynamics of nation-state civil cultures in multicultural societies.
