| Title | The "Ghetto Plan" From Ethnic Danes' Perspective: De-Linking "Ghettos" From The Epistemic Coloniality |
| Summary | This study explores the consequences of coloniality on the perception and thus attitudes among the ethnic Danes towards the 2019 governmental programme "Ghetto plan–No parallel societies in Denmark by 2030." This is, according to the Danish official narrative, legislation to fend off the intimidation posed by the population of the officially so-called "non-Westerns." Basically, as the study shows, they are of MENAPT origins and Muslims. This research recognizes that the Danish government's mechanism within the "ghetto plan" seems to mobilize the colonial legacies. It shows how the monolithic knowledge represented in the official narrative on the "ghettos" and their colonial discourses hides its negative perspectives and produces unliteral knowledge that justifies its racist practices and exploitation. In this light, this research looks at the positions of the ethnic Danes from the perspective of the decolonial option and decoloniality. That is, de-linking from the unilateral knowledge of coloniality and liberating knowledge from the colonial discourse and the impact of the racial representative regime of the "other." |
