What are central aspects and expressions of contemporary anti-Jewish racism in Sweden today? What can this tell us about the nature of the Swedish racial regime? These are two of the questions guiding this study, which explores anti-Jewish racism as a structural phenomenon inherent to Swedish society.

While research often has separated the study of anti-Jewish racism/ antisemitism from other racisms, this thesis is located within the field of critical race studies to explore anti-Jewish racism as part of larger social and racialised structures. Theoretically framed by a feminist and antiracist gaze that locates Sweden and constructions of “Swedishness” at the core of the analysis, it employs a perspective on anti-Jewish racism as a relational and dynamic social phenomenon, developing a critical analysis of the Swedish racial regime.
