In Scandinavian Colonialism and the Rise of Modernity: Small Time
Agents in a Global Arena, archaeologists, anthropologists, and
historians present case studies that focus on the scope and impact
of Scandinavian colonial expansion in the North, Africa, Asia and
America as well as within Scandinavia itsself. They discuss early
modern thinking and theories made valid and developed in early
modern Scandinavia that justified and propagated participation in
colonial expansion. The volume demonstrates a broad and
comprehensive spectrum of archaeological, anthropological and
historical research, which engages with a variation of themes
relevant for the understanding of Danish and Swedish colonial
history from the early 17th century until today. The aim is to add
to the on-going global debates on the context of the rise of the
modern society and to revitalize the field of early modern studies
in Scandinavia, where methodological nationalism still determines
many archaeological and historical studies. Through their
theoretical commitment, critical outlook and application of
postcolonial theories the contributors to this book shed a new
light on the processes of establishing and maintaining colonial
rule, hybridization and creolization in the sphere of material
culture, politics of resistance, and responses to the colonial
claims. This volume is a fantastic resource for graduate students
and researchers in historical archaeology, Scandinavia, early
modern history and anthropology of colonialism
