Like other Nordic countries, Sweden has its dark chapter of ignominious history involving discrimination targeting Roma. However, less is known about the role of historians in the process of bringing so-called ‘scientific grounds’ to solving the ‘Gypsy problem’. In this article, I focus on this topic, using the case of the historian Allan Etzler, in order to analyse the role that Etzler played as a scholar and expert in the development of pseudo-scientific racism in Sweden.

国家、专家和罗马人：瑞典的历史学家艾伦·埃茨勒 (Allan Etzler) 和伪科学种族主义

与其他北欧国家一样，瑞典也有其可耻历史的黑暗篇章，涉及针对罗姆人的歧视。然而，人们对历史学家在将所谓的“科学依据”用于解决“吉普赛问题”的过程中所扮演的角色知之甚少。在这篇文章中，我重点关注这个话题，通过历史学家艾伦·埃茨勒的案例，分析埃茨勒作为学者和专家在瑞典伪科学种族主义发展过程中所扮演的角色。
