Abstract

Post-colonial scholars have emphasized the need to explore the ways in  
which colonial contact shaped both the colonized and colonizers; that  
is, how European identities were formulated in relation to imperial  
projects. Colonial Europe itself has to be deconstructed, looking at  
similarities and variability within different countries. This article  
explores the construction of ‘white’ Icelandic identity in historical  
and contemporary discourses. The article shows that even though  
Iceland did not participate directly in the nineteenth century  
colonial project, the interwoven racial, gendered and nationalistic  
ideologies associated with the colonial project were very much a part  
of Icelandic identity in the nineteenth and early twentieth century as  
shaped by parallel discourses in Europe. Analysis of contemporary blog  
sites reflects the increasingly complex manifestations of racism in  
contemporary Iceland. Whiteness continues to be invisible as a  
position of power to many contemporary Icelanders. Interestingly,  
despite being few in numbers in Iceland, Muslims are increasingly  
constructed in the media as a threat in a similar way as in the rest  
of Europe.
