Yet, just as it is vital to study the history of groups who fought to identify as white, so too is it essential to investigate the process by which those who achieved racial hegemony were able to do so. Scandinavians in Chicago explores ideological, gendered concepts of Nordic whiteness and Scandinavian ethnicity employed by native- born Americans in Chicago during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to construct societal hegemony. The focus of this book advances a more comprehensive understanding of the Scandinavian-American experience by examining the process by which Nordics became the embodiment of whiteness and thus were granted racial privilege. This study's intention is to help bridge the gap in our understandings of white racial identity by analyzing the history of those who benefitted most for a social constructed hierarchy of race in America. As evidenced in the election cycle of 2016, America is a country staunchly divided by economic background, ideological positioning, political beliefs, and racial difference, as well as in our understandings of those differences and how we got to where we are today"-- |cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Scandinavian Americans|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85117958|zIllinois|zChicago.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78086438-781 650 0 Scandinavian Americans|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85117958|xRace identity|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00006915|zIllinois|zChicago.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78086438-781 650 0 White people|xRace identity|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh98006796|zIllinois|zChicago.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78086438-781 650 7 Scandinavian Americans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1106373 650 7 White people|xRace identity.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1174825 651 7 Illinois|zChicago.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1204048 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJackson, Erika K., 1978-|tScandinavians in Chicago.|d[Urbana, Illinois] : University of Illinois Press, [2019]|z9780252042119|w(DLC) 2018018108 |w(OCoLC)1057730561 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1906442|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
