Sweden's Dark Soul

- Blurb -

Alternative blogger Chang Frick grew up dark-haired in a nation of blondes. Ostracised and abused as a child, in adulthood he sets out to expose hypocrisy in Swedish society. When Frick reports the cover-up of mass sexual assaults on teen girls at a 2015 music festival, he provokes a chain reaction nationwide. The elites shirk responsibility and rush to discredit him, while immigrants like Armenian Samvel Atabekyan bear the collective blame.The institutions and characters caught up in this scandal, speak of a democracy in crisis. Although Sweden was the first country to guarantee press freedom, its history of homogeneity, social engineering, and conformity has created a culture where few dare dissent from consensus, and those outside the norm are driven to extremes.In this fearless and groundbreaking book, investigative journalist Kajsa Norman delves deep into the oppressive underbelly of the Swedish model. Weaving the history of Sweden's social politics with the stories of Frick, Atabekyan, and other outcasts, Norman reveals the darkness in the Swedish soul.
