” [The author] provides an excellent and courageous account of why
Denmark of all places would become a Scandinavian node for the
mainstream naturalization and legitimation of populist right-wing
discourses on ‘non-Western’ immigrants in general, and Muslim
immigrants in particular…It is crucial reading for anyone
interested in how the populist right-wing not only in Scandinavia,
but throughout Western Europe, have come to be so prominent during
the last twenty years.” · Social
Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale
"Readers...will find in this book much that is informative and new
and will be heartened that the attributes of the bright, tenacious
and unstoppable [Danish] TV detective Sarah Lund can also be found
within the Danish academy." · Race & Class “[A] very
important contribution to various debates on current Danish
identity politics and more generally, on the developments of
contemporary right-wing politics prevailing in Europe and the
West.” · Gunvor Jónsson, International Migration
Institute (IMI), University of Oxford “The book offers an
insightful background to the increased resistance towards ethnic
minorities and the growing Islamophobia in Denmark. This
development escalated with the Muhammad Cartoon Crisis that broke
out in 2005 and later reverberated in different parts of the
world.” · Anders Hellström, Malmö University
