Nordin has written an impassioned, rich account of the difficulties faced by Sweden's immigrants from 1990 through 2000.... The volume is much less a work of detached and systematic investigation than it is an extended critique of Sweden's 'arrogance and superiority' and the 'menace' of 'fanatic resisters' to immigration that builds upon the author's extensive personal observations. Summing Up: RECOMMENDED. General readers, lower-division undergraduates and above.
