Examining Iceland's response to its collapse into bankruptcy in 2008, the author explores the way in which the country sought to brand itself as an exotic tourist destination. With attention to the nation's aspirations, rooted in the late 19th century, of belonging as part of Europe, rather than being classified with colonized countries, the book examines the engagement with ideas of otherness across and within Europe, as European discourses continue to be based on racialized ideas of 'civilized' people. With its focus on coloniality at a time of crisis, this volume contributes to our understanding of how racism endures in the present and the significance of nationalistic sentiments in a world of precariousness. Anchored in part in personal narrative, this critical analysis of coloniality, racism, whiteness and national identities will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in national identity-making, European politics and race in a world characterised by crisis. 410 0$aRoutledge research in race and ethnicity. 517 $aCrisis and Coloniality at Europe's Margins 606 $aIdentity politics 606 $aFinancial crises 607 $aIceland $xEconomic conditions 615 0$aIdentity politics. 615 0$aFinancial crises. 676 $a338.5 700 $aLoftsdo?ttir$b Kristi?n$01357447 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910518191203321 996 $aCrisis and Coloniality at Europe's Margins$93363451 997 $aUNINA
