4 - Stockholm

In Stockholm, where Swedish-style social democracy has positioned the country as a world leader in development aid and refugee intake, Johny hears the complicated ways African voices are marginalised. With Minna Salami, he compares her term ‘Afropolitan’ with his term ‘Afropean’, and discusses challenging European intellectual hegemony through ‘sensuous knowledge’. And with musicians Stephen Simmonds and Sofia Janberg, he enjoys a more rhythmic examination of the Black Swedish experience.
