KRITISKE HENDELSER – NYE STEMMER

Er det slik at erfaringer med eksklusjon og en følelse av å ikke helt høre til i Norge er en avgjørende bakgrunn for en gryende politisk mobilisering blant etterkommere av innvandrere? Dette er blant spørsmålene Mette Andersson, Christine M. Jacobsen, Jon Rogstad og Viggo Vestel tar opp i den nye boka Kritiske Hendelser – Nye stemmer. Politisk engasjement og transnasjonal orientering i det nye Norge.
