Racist and anti-racist movements are increasingly taking the stage in contemporary European societies in the face of a rapidly changing cultural landscape. The drama of immigration has been enacted by these movements with heightened intensity since the 1980s and in particular the struggle is engaging the youth of Europe. In this work, the author discusses the two sides of the anti-racist movement in Sweden, on the one hand, the explosive sociality of the confrontation, a phenomenon she designates are neo-sectarianism, and on the other, the ephemeral sociality of "rainbow coalitions" of non-confrontation. In focus is the participation of young people in the anti-racist movement - arguing that it is an attempt by young people to not merely respond to perceived social changes and problems within society, but to actively participate in and shape society.
