This chapter presents an investigation of a particular discursive figure, one of conceptualising white Swedes as “Swedish Negroes” and problems affecting white Swedes as “Swedish Negro issues”. This discursive figure emerged in the post-war period and continued to make itself heard of well into the 1970s. This investigation comprises a kind of case study of what we call the “Swedish N-word” (neger – “Negro”). However, by extension, this is also a case study of incipient Swedish antiracism in the guise of white Swedish identifications with African Americans and with blackness in general. Throughout the period when the figure occurred most often, white Swedish women and white Swedish workers, and later on many other white Swedish groups such as youth subcultures, people living on the countryside and so on, claimed that they suffered the Swedish “Negro problem” and consequently that they were the “Swedish Negroes”. This white Swedish antiracist identification with blackness – or, as it may also be construed, appropriation of the ethos of black struggle – is theoretically articulated through the concept of transraciality. We argue that white Swedes identified so strongly with African Americans at least in part out of a desire to escape from a whiteness tainted by Nazism and colonialism after the Holocaust and during the era of decolonisation.
