Abstract

This article analyses how gendered, racialised and classed antagonisms are

created in texts by radical right-wing populists and intellectuals connected to

the anti-immigration movement and the antifeminist men’s rights movement in

Finland. The studied rhetoric focuses on the reproduction of the “white nation”

as part of the endangered “Western civilisation”; a feminism “gone too far”

and shifts in heterosexual power relations in the postcolonial era. The rhetoric

is discussed as political reimaginations that aim to recentre white masculinity

in a society that has seen its self-evident and normative position questioned.
