Adopting a broad and transnational Nordic approach, this book highlights the interconnected, transatlantic and reciprocal processes of migration and democracy with Nordic crossings.
It illuminates the connections, challenges and the broader democratic context, of transatlantic crossings of various kinds and explores the intertwined practises and experiences of Nordic mass migration and American democracy. By examining episodes, reflections and trends related to inter-Atlantic encounters that challenged established norms and policies, the book brings fresh insight into the significance of transatlantic connections at certain moments in time and helps describe the development of a transatlantic public sphere and a transcultural space.
This book is of key interest to scholars and students of Nordic and Scandinavian studies, American-Scandinavian studies, North American history, political theory, history of political ideas, migration studies, and more broadly to history, political science, political sociology, and literature.
