Schooling in the Racist Badlands: Health Team Professionals' Understanding of the Problem of Racist Opinions and Practices among Students
Christer Mattsson; Thomas Johansson; Jesper Andreasson
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v68 n3 p447-460 2024
This study aimed to analyse how school health team professionals in geographical areas with a long tradition of neo-Nazi activism discursively conceptualise the problem of racism. The participants do not consider racism or neo-Nazi mobilisation to be a central problem at their schools. At the same time, they cited several examples of obvious expressions of neo-Nazi convictions among students. This discrepancy is explained in different capacities. Firstly, as the students are understood to have a mill-town mentality, certain behaviours are expected and excused. Secondly, to be seen as a problem, racist expression is also expected to be visual. A third factor is that the problem is individualised, focusing on one incident at a time.
