'Östjudisk' integration i Sverige: Recension av Carl Henrik Carlssons Integration mot alla odds
Review of Carl Henrik Carlsson, Integration mot alla odds? En longitudinell kohortstudie av östjudars barn i Sverige, 1880–1920. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Uppsala Jewish Studies 2. ISBN 978-91-513-2158-5. 165 pp
Judaism and Liberalism: The Jewish Poor Relief Paragraph in Nineteenth-Century Sweden
In this article, the author explores the Jewish poor relief and how it was discussed in relation to the majority society and the immigration of so-called “Ostjuden” within the Jewish congregations in Sweden, focusing on the Jewish community in Gothenburg. The struggle to abolish the poor relief obligation and how this was perceived by authorities and in the press is examined. There were two main sides in the community debates, one side maintained…
Integration Through Segregation: Swedish‐Jewish Emancipationists and the Jewish Girls’ School in Nineteenth‐Century Sweden
This article analyses the only Jewish girls’ school in nineteenth‐century Sweden, Sophiaskolan, and the discussions about girls’ education and Bildung that emerged within the community – including regarding Judaism's ‘Oriental heritage’. The community meetings were a male sphere in which men discussed women's role within Jewish tradition. This implied the ‘de‐orientalization’ of Jewish men and how the girls’ school's mission was to shape well‐edu…
Ostjudeophobia: Press, poor relief, and Jewish communities in Sweden, ca. 1810–1900
“Liebe zu uns, Liebe zum Vaterland”: Gothicism, Patriotism, and History in a Swedish Synagogue, 1818
Fences of the Nation: Boundaries, Elites and Jewish Emancipation in Sweden, c. 1838–1870
Nineteenth-century Swedish-Jewish history has sometimes been classified as a peripheral adjunct to German-Jewish history. This article discusses the boundaries set up by Swedish-Jewish emancipationists in their struggle to be defined and accepted as Swedes. By defining themselves as Swedes and using the Swedish language, Swedish-Jewish emancipationists distanced themselves from the German language, while at the same time maintaining good relation…
‘Only the murder accusations are missing’: A case study of antisemitism and anti-antisemitism in Gothenburg, 1849
In 1848, the Götheborgs Dagblad newspaper was revived after a ten-year gap, and launched the anonymous submission column entitled ‘Anonyma Lådan’ (the Anonymous Box). In January and February 1849, many antisemitic letters and articles were published in the Swedish newspapers. Some letters defending Jews and Judaism were published in both ‘Anonyma Lådan’ and Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfartstidning. Short of blood libel, the antisemitic side accused…
Boundaries of the nation: “The Jew” in the Swedish press, ca. 1810–1840
This article explores representations of Jews and different ways of how ‘the Jew’ was used and mediated in the Swedish press in relation to the idea of the Swedish nation during the period 1810–1840. Based on Zygmunt Bauman’s concept of ‘the conceptual Jew’, this article explores how ‘the Jew’ was used to define identities in the emerging Swedish nation. Implicitly, discussions about ‘the Jew’ often revolved around the dismantling of the estate s…
The Baptism of an Indian Juggler: Event and Narrative in the Swedish Press, 1827–1852
In 1827, an Indian juggler named Mooty Madua Samme converted to Christianity in Stockholm, Sweden. This historical event got much attention in the press at the time – as did his succeeding marriage to a Swedish woman named Erica – and was celebrated as a victory for the Evangelical Lutheran faith. Later, in the 1840s, a narrative depicting the event spread via a travelogue by Xavier Marmier, which was translated and mediated through the Swedish p…

Allosemitism and cosmisation: A fruitful combination
In this article, we explore the fruitfulness of seeing allosemitism as an aspect of cosmisation. We explore possible tropes such as creating order from chaos, embracing Christian identity and supersessionism, and legitimising the Bible’s truth claims. Drawing from the Swedish press of the period 1770–1900, allosemitism and cosmisation are explored through the lens of three tenacious myths, all of which date back centuries: Blood Libel, the Wander…
Vårt högsta mål. Judendomens väl.”
The Society I.I: the Jewish Cause was founded in 1841 to fight for emancipation and against anti-Judaism. Concepts such as ‘Jew’ and ‘Swede of the Mosaic faith’ became a part of this struggle. The Society can be linked to other advocates of emancipation in Europe, such as Gabriel Riesser, who was elected to be an honorary member of the Society. The members’ identities were bivalent: they embraced both a fully Jewish and a fully Swedish identity a…
