ABSTRACT
This article discusses the social exclusion, othering and racialization that occur at the intersection of gender and ethnicity. Since the turn of the century, racializing processes in Sweden have gained a clear gender dimension. Issues of gender equality and women’s rights in relation to migrant minorities have become an arena for the production of exclusionary discourses and practices. A strongly dominant discourse constructs notions of so-called honour culture to work as a discursive frame for the construction of otherness. This article highlights and discusses these processes using examples from the public and political debate in speeches, publications and events. It reveals some significant aspects of racialization in contemporary Sweden.
