Abstract [en]

This article uses an oral history approach to discuss the Chilean diasporisation process in Sweden after 1973 by focusing on the relevance of a Chilean migration experience within Swedish Hip-hop. Based on an interview with Hip-hop artist Rodrigo ‘Rodde’ Bernal, a member of the Swedenbased group Hermanos Bernal, it outlines the complex ways in which he negotiates difference within what will be called the Hip-hop zone in-between Sweden and Chile. The article argues that strategies for mobilisation that stress Chileans as a group in Sweden become intelligible within the specific historical context of migration and diasporisation in-between Sweden and Chile as well as debates on multiculturalism that took hold in Sweden during the 1990s.

Abstract [en]

What does it mean when Hip-hop artists in both Sweden and Chile claim a Chilean or Latino artist identity? How can these identities be understood against the background of the 1973 coup d’état in Chile and its immediate and long-term consequences? This study sets out to answer these questions by focusing on the intersection of Hip-hop culture and the Chilean diaspora in Sweden after 1973. Based on a close reading of lyrics, as well as interviews with Hip-hop artists in both countries, it traces the way in which the artists position themselves, and in turn are positioned in different historical narratives in, and in-between the two countries. In terms of a Swedish past, this study discusses their identities in connection to a narrative based on inclusion – the narrative of the good Sweden (det goda Sverige) – and a narrative based on exclusion – the narrative of the old Sweden (det gamla Sverige). In terms of remembering a Chilean past on the other hand, it discusses them in connection to narratives based on either remembering or forgetting the atrocities committed by the Pinochet regime. By using an entangled history approach, this dissertation adds an explicitly historical, cultural and transnational perspective to the study of the connection between Chile and the Chilean diasporization process in Sweden after 1973.
