       Importance of Nordic Whiteness 
520    "Until recently, the study of American ethnic history 
       focused almost entirely on groups who fought for 
       legitimacy, operating under the premise that those with 
       uncontested whiteness required no further study. 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"--
