A Nation in Transition

Book cover for Nation i ombildning (eng. A Nation in Transition). This collection of essays offers a critical analysis of neoliberal transformation as it has unfolded in Sweden, long regarded as exemplary in terms of social welfare, equality and an inclusive multicultural democracy. It illuminates intersecting dimensions of class, gender and racialization and juxtaposes xenophobic populism with new social justice and antiracist movements on a changing political stage.

The visual solution is a typographic transition from a serif to a blackletter typeface. The transition illustrates how the political landscape has moved from democratic (serif) towards the far right (blackletter).
