Not Peace but Victory
In popular discourse the Vietnam War protest movement is portrayed as a morally laudable rebellion of the young against the old and a heroic attempt to bring a cruel and senseless war to a halt. The Vietnam War protesters, the argument goes, were pacifists with a conscience, who turned against a belligerent and racist imperialism that belonged in the dustbin of history.1 Certainly related to this canonization, academic literature on the protests …
Resistance and Repetition
The Western European protest movement against the American War in Vietnam stands out as something unique in contemporary history. Here finally, after all the senseless horrors of the twentieth century, reason speaks, demanding an end to Western atrocities against the poor South. But in the rosy fog of humanistic idealism and youthful revolution lies the unanswered question, why did this and not any other conflicts, before or after, render such an…
Hanoi's Diplomatic Front in Sweden
This article offers a new perspective on the Swedish protests against the Vietnam War by placing it in its broader global Cold War context. As a case study on ‘people's diplomacy’ and ‘united front strategy’, it acknowledges the importance of Chinese and Vietnamese influences on the peace campaigns in Sweden and aims, as far as possible, to reconstruct Hanoi's motives, strategies and actions to create and direct Sweden's policy and opinion on the…
The end of concern
In 1973, a delegation of the Maoist Committee for Concerned Asian Scholars (CCAS) finally arrived in the People’s Republic of China that they, in innumerable articles, talks, and discussions, had l
Fantasy Memories and the Lost Honor of Madame Chiang Kai-shek
The tale of a sexual tryst between China’s first lady Soong Mayling and the 1940 Republican u.s . presidential candidate Wendell Willkie on his visit to China in September and October 1942 has circulated in biographies and in the press. Yet there is no credible evidence of such a liaison. Drew Pearson, a political gossip columnist, probably cooked it up. He embellished an account he had learned from Gardner Cowles, a respected long-time Republica…
The Collaborative Dimension of Johan Gunnar Andersson’s Search for a Western Origin of China
The Swedish geologist Johan Gunnar Andersson, well known for discovering the first Stone Age culture in China, was for a long time criticized for trying to establish a ‘Western origin’ for his Yangshao finds. Not much has been written on how he went about to prove this theory and no composite account exists on what role other, mainly Swedish, scholars played in his project. This article aims to address this lacuna, outlining how geographer Sven H…
Saluting the Yellow Emperor
Saluting the Yellow Emperor tells the fascinating story of a group of Swedish scholars who rediscovered the pronunciation of the Chinese classics, buried Silk Road cities, and a Chinese Stone Age, while spiriting antiquities out of Asia. Mining Swedish archives and drawing on letters, diaries, personal papers, and published accounts, it is the first collective history on this group of China scholars. In his analysis, Perry Johansson turns Edward …

Orvar Karlbeck på skattjakt
Östasiatiska museets grundare har under senare tids diskussioner om smuggling från tredje världens framställts som ett etiskt föredöme. Den här artikeln visar på en annan sida av museets samlande. För att fylla det nya svenska museet skickas under största hemlighet den arkeologiska ”hit-mannen” Orvar Karlbeck till Kina för att under 1930-talet handla, rovgräva och smuggla, hela tiden uppbackad av pennings- timma svenska konsortier
