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 Hjorth駭 explores the little-known phenomenon of cross-border commemorations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Focusing on two celebrations of Swedish settlement in America-the 1938 New Sweden Tercentenary and the 1948 Swedish Pioneer Centennial-Hjorth駭 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. \u003ci\u003eCross-Border Commemorations\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Hjorth駭\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 162534385X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625343857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Massachusetts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Adam Hjorth駭","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984691495167,"sku":"9781625343857","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_830280a1-33aa-40f2-a586-aeba2b7841b2.jpg?v=1683273711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cross-border-commemorations-adam-hjorthn-9781625343857","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
