ABSTRACT

The final chapter establishes a 2018 freeze-frame of postcolonial Denmark, by looking at current national preoccupations and how they are informed by Global North-South power relations, and by a domestic discourse of racialised Danish whiteness. The chapter explores the significance of post-1965 migration and the impact of the refugee crisis on the discourse on Danishness – with particular reference to how the Danish under-siege approach to the increasing global presence in Denmark relates to a wider European (and Western) perception of having entered a phase of perpetual crisis.
