Yet because these histories involved settlers who crossed oceans, they are inherently transnational and have been important for different groups throughout the world. To understand how settlement histories are used to promote social, political, and commercial relations across national borders, Adam Hjorthen explores the little-known phenomenon of cross-border commemorations. Focusing on two celebrations of Swedish settlement in America--the 1938 New Sweden Tercentenary and the 1948 Swedish Pioneer Centennial--Hjorthen examines a wide variety of sources to demonstrate how cultural leaders, politicians, and businessmen used these events to promote international relations between the United States and Sweden during times of great geopolitical transformation. Cross-Border Commemorations argues that scholarship on public commemoration should expand beyond national borders and engage the shared and contested meanings of history across local, national, and transnational contexts"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a An entangled history of settler commemorations -- Moments of opportunity : on pasts and politics -- Crossing borders : appropriating foundational histories -- Settler colonial histories : memorializing a transatlantic legacy -- Mutual modernities : representing history through delegation travels -- Bonds of Swedishness : festivals and the mending of cultural differences -- Perpetual friendships : business and politics in commemorative dinners -- The resilience of history. 650 0 $a Swedes $z United States $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775. 651 0 $a United States $x Relations $z Sweden. 651 0 $a Sweden $x Relations $z United States. 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Swedes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139996 651 7 $a Sweden. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204537 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1600-1775 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hjorthen, Adam, 1984- author. $t Cross-border commemorations $d Amherst : University of Massachusetts Press, [2018] $z 9781613766323 $w (DLC) 2018045023 830 0 $a Public history in historical perspective. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213012156.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502025324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=343359142E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
