Description
Introduction In 2006 a major investigation was conducted by the Swedish government into discrimination. This investigation included 15 reports by around 100 Swedish researchers and experts on the area called the "Black book on integration". (1) The aim of the research was to study structural discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity and religion in all areas of society. Results show that this type of discrimination exists in all the sections of society included in the study and that it is based on the "otherization" of immigrants, a phenomenon which is produced and reproduced as a feature of everyday racism. The discrimination is also based on a systematic subordination of the "other" and operates in intersections of power relations and in, racist stereotypes; furthermore, it is gendered and related to class and age. In the areas of work and employment, the report (2) shows that there is discrimination in all sectors of working life and in the labour market. Discrimination also exists in the welfare state, rooted in a selective policy for immigrants based on categorization and unequal treatment. (3)
