In a new anthology titled \u201dKlasskamp p\u00e5 svenska: akt\u00f6rer, id\u00e9er och erfarenheter i 1900-talets finlandssvenska arbetarr\u00f6relse\u201d (\u201c<em>Class Struggle in Swedish: Actors, Ideas, and Experiences in the Finland-Swedish Labour Movement of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> Century<\/em>\u201d) several scholars show that socialism had strong Finland-Swedish proponents. The focus is on individual lives from Swedish-speaking Finland that challenged the ongoing bourgeois construction of the Finland-Swedish identity during the first half of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. The socialists were viewed as a threat to the political and material interests of the Swedish-speaking bourgeois class. However, these individuals belonged to two minorities, being both socialists and Finland-Swedes. They based their socialism on striving for an equal society without class or minority oppression. The Finland-Swedish labour movement also contributed considerably to making Finland more bilingual and to the recognition of the social needs and interests of the Swedish-speaking minority. Perhaps the labor movement had a greater importance for Swedishness in Finland than bourgeois voices have been willing to admit?<\/p>\n<p>The book will be presented at the seminar on 17 May 2022 by Matias Kaihovirta, who is one of the editors, and by the co-authors Aleksi Huhta, Mats Wickstr\u00f6m and Yasmin Nyqvist.<\/p>\n<p>Please click the link below to join the seminar:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/86339349785?pwd=M0ZsTmJNNldEelVoblI0bENQT3I0dz09\">https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/j\/86339349785?pwd=M0ZsTmJNNldEelVoblI0bENQT3I0dz09<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a long time, Swedish-speaking Finland has been associated with primarily bourgeois politics.
