ABSTRACT

This chapter examines some of the issues that such a situation arises when looking at multiple discrimination from the perspective of sociology of law. It describes the ethnicization of the Swedish labour market, including a presentation of a few central concepts. Swedish Labor Court rulings focus on discrimination. An intersectional perspective focuses on how vectors of gender, class, race and sexuality have pervaded the writing of black feminist scholars. Scandinavian feminists have long turned a blind eye to black feminism on the grounds that their societies have no history of slavery or colonialism. The chapter elaborates the complexity inherent in the various assessments of this case, as well as the case involving the woman of Czech origin, in entitled 'Normalization of discrimination'. The concept of gender equality gave rise to other problems, because it was used primarily as a means of comparing women and men on the basis of a normality perspective.
