- This article addresses two subjects relating to the topic of this issue of Scandinavian Journal of History from a 'difference approach' in narratology. This means that we assume that words like 'narrative' and 'fiction' are used to denote different things and that it is important to distinguish between these uses. We also assume that narrative texts that share similar surface structures can still 'do' different things and are approached differently by readers. The first issue we focus on concerns history writing and narrative. We are especially interested in the discussion about the distinction between narrative history writing and literary fiction. When discussing this issue, we distinguish between different uses of terms like 'narrative', 'fictiveness', and 'fiction'. The second issue concerns the application of narratology as a method in the analysis of oral and written texts. We suggest that narratological concepts like narrator and perspective do not have the same denotation in the analysis of literary fiction as in the analysis of non-fictional narratives, and hence that narratology with its many concepts cannot be applied indiscriminately. In the discussion of these issues, we refer to factual and fictional written and oral texts concerned with migration.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this study is to analyze how Swedish students in year 9 perceives of, relates to and makes meaning of the historical narrative of a Holocaust survivor. The material used consist of letters written to the survivor Ilona Enqvist after her presentations in Swedish schools during the mid-1990s. The main conclusion is that the life story of a survivor quite effectively engages students in general questions on basic human rights, morals and ethics. The students also stress that the story´s authenticity and its individual perspective offers important insights. On the other hand, the study also shows how the presentation falls short of getting students to understand the historical dimension of the narrative and the historical context. It shows the need for teaching that emphasizes the historical perspective and that, through historization, can potentially qualify the process of meaning making. The study highlights the importance of the presentation to the students. It also gives a hint on the importance of the contribution made by Holocaust survivors in offering Swedish students unique and deeply engaging perspectives on the Holocaust that offers opportunities for teachers to conduct value-based history teaching.

Railroading and Labor Migration : Class and Ethnicity in Expanding Capitalism in Northern Minnesote, the 1880s to the mid 1920s
- 2007
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the 1880s, capitalism as a social and economic system integrated new geographic areas of the American continent. The construction of the Duluth & Iron Range Railroad (D&IR), financed by a group of Philadelphia investors led by Charlemagne Tower and later owned by the US Steel was part of this emerging political economy based on the exploitation of human and material resources. Migrant labor was in demand as it came cheap and, generally, floated between various construction-sites on the “frontier” of capitalism. The Swedish immigrants were one part of this group of “floaters” during the late 1800s and made up a significant part of the force that constructed and worked on the D&IR between the 1880s and the 1920s. This book deals with power relations between groups based on class and ethnic differences by analyzing the relationship between the Anglo-American bourgeois establishment and the Swedish and other immigrant workers and their children on the D&IR and in the railroad town of Two Harbors, Minnesota. The Anglo-American bourgeois hegemony in Minnesota, to a large extent, dictated the conditions under which Swedish immigrants and others toiled and were allowed access to American society. I have therefore analyzed the structural subordination and gradual integration of workers and, in particular, immigrant workers, in an emerging class society. The book also deals with the political and the cultural opposition to Anglo-American bourgeois hegemony that emerged in Two Harbors and that constructed a radical public sphere during the 1910s. In this process, new group identities based on class and ethnicity emerged in the working class neighborhoods in the wake of the capitalist expansion and exploitation, and as a result of worker agency. Building on traditions of political insurgency an alliance of immigrant workers, particularly Swedes, Anglo skilled workers and parts of the local petty bourgeoisie rose to a position of political and cultural power in the local community. This coalition was held together by the language of class that became the basis of a local multi-ethnic working class identity laying claim to its own version of Americanism. The period of preparedness leading up to the Great War, the war itself, and its aftermath, produced a reaction from the Anglo American bourgeoisie which resulted in a profound change in the public sphere as a coalition between “meliorist middle class reformers”, represented primarily by the YMCA and local church leaders and the D&IR and its program of welfare capitalism launched a broad program to counter socialism locally, and to forge new social bonds that would cut across class lines and ethnic boundaries. By this process, the ethnic working class in Two Harbors was offered entry into American society by acquiring citizenship and by their inclusion in a broader civic community undifferentiated by class. But this could only be realized by the workers’ adoption of an Anglo-American national identity based on identification with corporate interests, a new local solidarity that cut across class lines and a white racial identity that diminished the significance of ethnic boundaries. By these means the Swedish immigrants, or at least a portion of them, became Americans on terms established by the D&IR and its class allies.

Skandinaviska socialister i Two Harbors, Minnesota : arbetarklasskultur och lokalpolitik före första världskriget

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Under tiden före första världskriget var socialismen en stark lokal kraft på många håll i USA. Exemplet Two Harbors, Minnesota, visar hur klass och etnicitet medvetet vävdes samman för att skapa en klassmedveten arbetaridentitet med tydliga etniska förtecken. I och med att USA trädde in i kriget 1917 påbörjades ett aktivt arbete för att marginalisera denna till förmån för en angloamerikansk nationell identitet.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Med särskild utgångspunkt iu filmen Jägarna (Sundvall 1996) behandlar artikeln utifrån klass, genus och etnicitet hur relationen mellan centrum och periferi gestaltar sig; hur Norrland ses som problem med tillskriven högerpopulism. Jägarna jämförs sedan med några andra samtida filmer som på olika sätt behandlar periferin.
