3. Droppar i rashavet: En vithetskritisk läsning av Maria Sandels Droppar i folkhavet
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för litteratur, idéhistoria och religionSammanfattning : Although critical whiteness studies have yet to form a stable footing within the Swedish literary academia, its recognition within the field is increasing.

4. "Amerikanism eller pöbeldåd"? : Amerikansk lynchningspraktik i den svenskamerikanska pressen 1900–1922
Magister-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Historiska institutionenSammanfattning : This thesis investigates the notion, perception and mediation of whiteness in the Swedish-American immigrant newspapers coverage of lynchings of African-Americans between 1900–1922 and how the editors, of both the larger bourgeois and the smaller socialist and communist press, deployed it in the construction of the racial Swedish-American identity to mirror the contemporary American racial hierarchy. A main departure point is that the Swedish-American identity, in part, was constructed in relation to other racialized groups in America but also to already existing groups in the American society such as the Anglo-Saxons, as the hegemon of what constituted whiteness, but also the descendants of African slaves as the polar opposite.
