Different ways of seeing ‘savagery’: Two Nordic travellers in 18th-century North America
Andreas Hesselius and Pehr Kalm both spent time in eastern North America during the first half of the 18th century. Both came with an ardent desire to observe and learn about the natural environment and inhabitants of the region. Both produced writings, in the form of journals that have proved immensely useful to subsequent scholars. Yet their writings also display differences that illuminate the epistemological and sociological underpinnings of …
The earrings: Friendship across ethnic and gendered boundaries in the American West
How were relationships negotiated across ethnic, racial, and gendered boundaries in the American West in the 1920s and 1930s? Were friendships possible? What limits shaped them? In 1927, four Kiowa students enrolled at Oklahoma University as students of Swedish-born Professor of Fine Arts Oscar B. Jacobson. This article investigates the relationship between Jeanette Berry, wife of one of the Kiowa artists, and Sophie Brousse, Jacobson’s French wi…
Intersecting Worlds: New Sweden’s Transatlantic Entanglements
The New Sweden Colony (1638-1655) is often regarded as an anomaly in the context of 17th century Swedish politics and in the context of other European colonies in America. Equally, the colony's importance in the historical narrative of early modern Sweden and colonial America has been modest. However, more recent research on Scandinavian involvement in the Atlantic economy and early modern politics at home and abroad shows that Sweden was activel…
Colonial fantasies – American Indians, indigenous peoples, and a Swedish discourse of innocence
This article examines representations of American Indians in a Swedish family magazine from the 1860s/1870s, tying these ‘Indian stories’ to perceptions carried by emigrants to the Americas. It argues that these representations conveyed a certain notion of the colonial process that allowed Swedes to both participate in and disavow the more unsavoury aspects of what the magazine called ‘race wars’. An emerging discourse of innocence connected popu…

Indians and Immigrants- Entangled Histories
Andrew Newman. On Records: Delaware Indians, Colonists, and the Media of History and Memory
Andrew Newman's book is an intriguing example of the fruitfulness of interdisciplinary scholarship. How can oral history preserved in colonial writing be assessed? Does it shed light on past events and processes, or does it only transmit traditions of cultural memory? Oral sources are frequently judged in relation to written records, and deemed useful only if the written information corroborates the oral. But what if the oral histories preserved …
