Abstract: How do people emotionally and morally react to begging in European cities? Do they feel anxiety, discomfort, disbelief, empathy, compassion, shock, confusion, anger? For his latest book, The Begging Question: Sweden's Social Responses to the Roma Destitute, human geographer Erik Hansson collected social media content, followed a non-governmental organization assisting homeless people, and interviewed residents in Sweden to identify how people encounter "the begging gesture" in everyday life in a country where until the 2010s people were not acquainted with that encounter.
