Annotation

This critical discursive psychological inquiry of blog entries of Swedish radical right politicians with immigrant or other ethnic minority origin shows the discursive means used to negotiate both a shallow ethnic minority identity (at designated level), and an active Swedish identity (at personal declaration level) and to explain their political choices, disavowing Sweden Democrats's racist tilt, past and extant structural racism.
