ABSTRACT

The underlying research for the book consists of multiple qualitative data sources and empirical materials. In this chapter, we briefly account for the methods and samples used in the study as a whole. In doing this, we follow the structure of the book, describing the key methods used to gather and analyze the qualitative material. The overall methodological approach of the study as a whole is influenced by Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as well as cultural studies. Using a mixture of qualitative materials, analytical strategies, and conceptual tools, we have tried to unfold and analyze structural, cultural and biographical aspects of the Swedish Social Nationalist movement.
