The Wallachian Gold-Washers
As already indicated, those Rudari living outside the Romanian borders were and are better researched than those living in Romania. This situation is clear from a recently published handbook of Boyash studies (Sorescu-Marinkovi and Kahl 2021). The volume contains only three articles out of eighteen that deal with the Romanian Rudari/Biei. However, many travellers and administrators observed gold-washers from Danuban Principalities, which will be …

When Perpetual Persecution Becomes Ottoman Genocide
A review of Benny Morris and Dror Ze'evi's The Thirty-Years Genocide deals with the experience of Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek minorities in late Ottoman and early Republican Turkey. The thesis of a long genocide challenges the international law concept of genocide while reopening a line of interpretation of long-standing persecution that is close to Christian memory, but far from contemporary historians' emphasis on political decision-making. T…
Year of the Sword
This book deals with the little-known genocide of Ottoman Christians who were not Armenians or Greeks during World War I. The year at issue is 1915 although killing continued throughout the war and after. Under the ethnic concept Assyrians, Joseph Yacoub combines separate indigenous Oriental churches: the Syrian Orthodox, Syrian Catholic, Chaldean, the Church of the East, plus Protestant converts. This ethnically defined Assyrian group differed f…

The Complexity of the Assyrian Genocide
The Assyrian Genocide involved many non-Armenian Christian groups native to eastern Anatolia and northern Mesopotamia. Among them were the Assyrian Church of the East, the Chaldean Church, the Syriac Orthodox, and some smaller sects. Massacres and ethnic cleansing culminated during the summer and fall of 1915. Using archival documents from the Prime Ministerial Ottoman Archive (Istanbul) and the Military History and Strategic Studies Directorate …

Identity conflicts among Oriental Christian in Sweden
This article deals with the Assyrian, Chaldean and Syrian Orthodox immigrants to Sweden. They form a large group coming mostly from Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. From the start they have had complicated relations with the Swedish government and needed to navigate the country's ever changing immigration and integration policies. The demands of living in diaspora has also aided in splitting the group into two rival sections. One calls itself "As…

Rural Household Organization and Inheritance in Northern Europe
By focusing on morphological continuity, family historians may be neglecting long-term changes within the family that are documented in non-numerical sources. Evidence from Finland suggests that researchers need to reexamine the history of the suurperhe ("large family"). Similarly, evidence from the Scandinavian peninsula suggests that the early modern centuries witnessed the growth of privacy in generational relations, the emergence of the fathe…
Values, Life-Styles and the Future. Swedish Future Studies in the Late 1980s
The Secretariat for Future Studies deals with broad and complex questions such as the relationships between parts of the entire social system rather than isolated sectors. Those questions are tackled by studying changes in values and life-styles. This paper presents two studies using this approach. The first treats shifts in values in Sweden concerning such things as work, family, life, aging and welfare both retrospectively and prospectively. Th…
The property and kin relationships of retired farmers in northern and central Europe
Introduction The structure of modern industrial societies shows an ageing population. In most countries in Europe there are more old age pensioners than ever before, and the proportion of people who have retired from the labour market because of age is steadily growing. Even in countries, like those of Scandinavia, where the proportion of aged persons is so high already that it cannot increase, there will be a great expansion in the number of the…

An ecological history of Finland
There are many ways to write the history of a country. One can describe its political strife or its economic development or its intellectual attainments. In this book Sven- Erik Åsiröm has the novel (if trendy) approach of examining Finland's history as the story of its land utilisation. Although he calls this an ‘anthropo-ecologica1’ interpretation, it is essentially the viewpoint of the economic geographer
