The Extremists. Fear and hope in multicultural Norway

Within one generation, ethnic Norwegians can be a minority in Oslo. What kind of city will it be then? Aslak Nore asks the questions many have thought of, but none have dared mention – questions that will dominate Norwegian debates in the decades to come. Stories about the new Norway are combined with international research within psychology, demography and economy.

The author’s experiences from Latin America, the Middle East and the US shed light on the reality of multicultural Oslo. Nore also takes vivid retrospective glances at his own adolescence in the 90s. The result is absorbing and informative, uplifting and uncomfortable. THE EXTREMISTS is a renewal of the dialogue about multicultural Norway.
