Abstract

This artide addresses some of the problems arising at the intersection of feminism and ethnicity, i.e. when Swedish, white feminists work together within women's movements with women belonging to cultural/ethnic minorities. The power relations connected with ethnicity pervading the interaction between Swedish and minority women are seldom discussed within women's associations, either because these relations are not "seen" or because talk about them is experienced as a threat to solidarity and sisterhood. The author sees an increased (individual and collective) reflexivity on the forms practical everyday feminist work takes, and the acknowledgement and active interrogation of power relations within movements as the only means of making feminist and ethnic identities interplay with each other in a productive way.
