Lannistumaton
Matti Kurikka (1863–1915) is a multi-dimensional and controversial character in Finnish history. He was a playwright, a journalist, a socialist, and a theosophist, as well as a speaker for sexual emancipation and women's rights. Kurikka was born in Ingria, and his activities spanned not only Finland, but also Australia and North America, in both of which he led utopian communities. This biographical study explores Kurikka as a literary and political figure and a builder of utopias, whose life opens fascinating views on the societal and cultural currents of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book critically re-evaluates earlier research on Kurikka and highlights forgotten phases of his life by using new source materials found in three continents. The sources include digitized newspapers and periodicals, Kurikka's plays and non-fictional books, oral history, and political cartoons.
Subaltern Political Subjectivities and Practices in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
Approaching subalternity from a broad Gramscian angle, this edited collection contributes to the understanding of popular politics in parliamentary, autocratic, and colonial contexts. The book explores individual stories and micro-histories of complaints, requests, rumors, and other mediated and unmediated interactions between political institutions and the subjects they claimed to govern or represent. It challenges the approaches of institutionally oriented political historiography and its attention to the top-down construction of political representation, citizenship, and power and powerlessness. The book discusses more subtle forms of agency and the spaces these pertained to, which could ...
Finnish Settler Colonialism in North America
Finnish Settler Colonialism in North America reinterprets Finnish experiences in North America by connecting them to the transnational processes of settler colonial conquest, far-settlement, elimination of natives, and capture of terrestrial spaces. Rather than merely exploring whether the idea of Finns as a different kind of immigrant is a myth, this book challenges it in many ways. It offers an analysis of the ways in which this myth manifests itself, why it has been upheld to this day, and most importantly how it contributes to settler colonialism in North America and beyond. The authors in this volume apply multidisciplinary perspectives in revealing the various levels of Finnish involve...
Oral Tradition and Book Culture
Traditionally, oral traditions were considered to diffuse only orally, outside the influence of literature and other printed media. Eventually, more attention was given to interaction between literacy and orality, but it is only recently that oral tradition has come to be seen as a modern construct both conceptually and in terms of accessibility. Oral traditions cannot be studied independently from the culture of writing and reading. Lately, a new interdisciplinary interest has risen to study interconnections between oral tradition and book culture. In addition to the use and dissemination of printed books, newspapers etc., book culture denotes manuscript media and the circulation of written...
Rethinking Revolutions from 1905 to 1934
This edited collection offers a timely and original perspective on the many upheavals and revolutions that broke out across the world during the earlytwentieth century. With previous research tending to confine revolutions within national borders, this book sets out to place them within a broader global sphere of thought and action. The authors explore the time phase between the Russian Revolution of 1905 and the Asturian Revolution of 1934, including cases from South Africa, Australia, China, the Middle East and Latin America. Providing insights from leading scholars in the field, this collection highlights the interconnectedness and transnationalism of upheavals and revolutions, offering a new approach which integrates political, social and cultural history.

Työväestö ja demokratia
Demokratia eli kansanvalta on ollut olennainen osa suomalaisten yhteiskuntaa jo yli 100 vuotta. Monet tutkijat ovat pitäneet työväenliikettä eräänä keskeisimmistä demokratian edistäjistä niin Suomessa kuin maailmanlaajuisesti, mutta historiassa työväestön ja demokratian suhde on saanut hyvin monia, toisinaan jännitteisiä muotoja. Vuosikirjan artikkelit tarkastelevat työväestön ja demokratian monivaiheista historiaa eri näkökulmista. Ne käsittelevät muun muassa demokratian vakiintumisen ajanjaksoa Suomessa, työväenpuolueiden suhtautumista demokratiaan ja kunnallisdemokratiaan sekä demokratian laajentamista talouden ja sivistyksen alueille. Teos osoittaa, että työväestön ja demokratian suhde on jatkuvasti ajankohtainen historiantutkimuksen aihe. Se tuo näkökulmia myös nykyisiin keskusteluihin kansalaisten osallistumisesta ja hallinnon legitimiteetistä Suomessa ja maailmalla.
Konstnär, kvinna, medborgare
I november 1879 inledde Helena Westermarck (1857-1938) sina konststudier i Paris, och livet igenom hon uppfattade sig själv som konstnär. I sina texter dryftade Westermarck ofta frågor som gällde konstens betydelse och konstnärens roll i samhället. Den här boken visar att Helena Westermarcks syn på konsten och konstnärens samhällsroll balanserade mellan den finska bildningskulturens idealistiskt och nationellt färgade förväntningar på den bildade elitens samhällsansvar samt en nyare syn på konstnärer, författare och andra offentliga personer som ett intellektuellt avantgarde med uppgift att gå i spetsen för samhällelig förändring.

Agrarian Reform and Resistance in an Age of Globalisation
This book investigates the causes and effects of modernisation in rural regions of Britain and Ireland, continental Europe, the Americas, and Australasia between 1780 and 1914. In this period, the transformation of the world economy associated with the Industrial Revolution fuelled dramatic changes in the international countryside, as landowning elites, agricultural workers, and states adapted to the consequences of globalisation in a variety of ways. The chapters in this volume illustrate similarities, differences, and connections between the resulting manifestations of agrarian reform and resistance that spread throughout the Euro-American world and beyond during the long nineteenth century.
