ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a theoretical framework of assemblages to unpack how racialisation processes exist in colour-blind societies. The chapter argues that these societies are imagined to be colour-blind and “race” is assumed to be irrelevant. Nonetheless, “race” never really disappears in these societies, but rather becomes omnipresent. Based on this thesis and drawing on comparative ethnographic material from Copenhagen and Montreal, the chapter unpacks the processes of Muslim racialisation using the conceptual framework of assemblages.
