Rasism eller kulturalism? : en innehållsanalys av Sverigedemokraternas principprogram

Blomkvist, Maria LU (2014) MRSK30 20132

Utifrån resultaten diskuteras vidare en eventuell fara med att inte definiera vissa aspekter som rasism, problematiken... (More)

Utifrån resultaten diskuteras vidare en eventuell fara med att inte definiera vissa aspekter som rasism, problematiken med Sverigedemokraternas språkbruk och ordval i förhållande till den anti-rasistiska diskursen samt några tankar kring vad ett principprogram i realiteten innebär.

Based on the results the possible danger of not defining certain aspects as racism is further discussed, as well as the issue of the Sweden Democrats' use of... (More)
