Crafting the Movement presents an explanation of why the Swedish
working class so unanimously adopted reformism during the interwar
period. Jenny Jansson discusses the precarious time for the labor
movement after the Russian Revolution in 1917 that sparked a trend
towards radicalization among labor organizations and communist
organizations throughout Europe and caused an identity crisis in
class organizations. She reveals that the leadership of the Trade
Union Confederation (LO) was well aware of the identity problems
that the left-wing factions had created for the reformist unions.
Crafting the Movement explains how this led labor movement leaders
towards a re-formulation of the notion of the worker by
constructing an organizational identity that downplayed class
struggle and embraced discipline, peaceful solutions to labor
market problems, and cooperation with the employers. As Jansson
shows, study activities arranged by the Workers' Educational
Association became the main tool of the Trade Union Confederation's
identity policy in the 1920s and 1930s and its successful outcome
paved the way for the well-known "Swedish Model." Thanks to
generous funding from Uppsala University, the ebook editions of
this book are available as Open Access volumes from Cornell Open
(cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other Open Access
repositories.
