Breaking new ground in the study of European colonialism, this book
focuses on a nation historically positioned between the Western and
Eastern Empires of Europe - Finland. Although Finland never had
overseas colonies, the authors argue that the country was
undeniably involved in the colonial world, with Finns adopting
ideologies and identities that cannot easily be disentangled from
colonialism. This book explores the concepts of 'colonial
complicity' and 'colonialism without colonies' in relation to
Finland, a nation that was oppressed, but also itself complicit in
colonialism. It offers insights into European colonialism on the
margins of the continent and within a nation that has traditionally
declared its innocence and exceptionalism. The book shows that
Finns were active participants in various colonial contexts,
including Southern Africa and Sapmi in the North. Demonstrating
that colonialism was a common practice shared by all European
nations, with or without formal colonies, this book provides
essential reading for anyone interested in European colonial
history. Chapters 1, 7 and 8 are available open access under a via
