Sammanfattning

Focusing on the work of Swedish feminist rapper Silvana Imam, this chapter focuses on how Imam uses hip-hop culture as a platform to position herself in relation to shifting notions of Swedishness, in terms of a ‘good Sweden’ (i.e., imagining Sweden as an antiracist and feminist country) and an imagined ‘old Sweden’ (framing Sweden as a homogenous nation) – constructions that Tobias Hübinette and Catrin Lundström have called the ‘double-binding power of Swedish whiteness’. This chapter also considers Imam in light of the growing global body of work addressing intersectional understandings of feminism within hip-hop culture and in relation to broader movements of resistance to discrimination or racism as articulated by Nordic hip-hop artists. It suggests that Imam’s work contests the notion of Sweden being a post-feminist and post-racial society.
