\"Through its rigor, The De-Blattefication Process becomes a scathing indictment of the obscure ideas circulating in anti-immigrant think tanks. And it elevates Zulmir Becevic to a prominent contemporary chronicler.\" Peter Grönborg, Smålandsposten

Alen has always thought he is Swedish. He was born in Sweden, is a Swedish citizen, and only speaks Swedish. Okay, his father fled from former Yugoslavia a long time ago, so he certainly has 'blatte' blood in him, but he never thought it would have such consequences. But since the Party took power, it's not so easy for people like Alen. The Party has introduced new rules and restrictions, new ideas have taken hold. How are 'blattes' supposed to learn to become truly Swedish? That is the big question. Alen is forced to begin the De-Blattefication Process. Alen is to become Swedish, completely Swedish and nothing but Swedish. Otherwise, he's in trouble.
Zulmir Becevic is back with a dystopian yet humorous story about not having a place in a Sweden where a xenophobic party is in the majority. The De-Blattefication Process is a story that highlights the absurdity of the nationalistic striving to either belong or be foreign. For what does it really mean to be Swedish?

\"Bosnian-born Becevic (he came to Sweden as a refugee in 1992) already showed in his debut with 'The Journey That Began with an End' to be a master of dialogue and unexpected twists. He hasn't gotten worse since then, and in this year's 'De-Blattefication Process,' he also triumphs as a satirist.\" Petter Lindgren, Aftonbladet

\"a sharp and satirical dystopia, with incisive, discussion-friendly questions about who is Swedish. It's funny, but the laughter is never unrestrained, reality intervenes.\" Lina Kalmteg, Svenska Dagbladet

\"One of the most important books of the year.\" Camilla Jönsson, Hallandsposten
