In Swedish-American Borderlands, this collection edited by Dag Blanck and Adam Hjorth n seeks to reconceptualize and redefine the field of Swedish-American relations by reviewing more complex cultural, social, and economic exchanges and interactions that take a broader approach to the international relationship--ultimately offering an alternative way of studying the history of transatlantic relations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSwedish-American Borderlands\u003c\/i\u003e studies connections and contacts between Sweden and the United States from the seventeenth century to today, exploring how movements of people have informed the circulation of knowledge and ideas between the two countries. The volume brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines within the humanities and social sciences to investigate multiple transcultural exchanges between Sweden and the United States. Rather than concentrating on one-way processes or specific national contexts, \u003ci\u003eSwedish-American Borderlands\u003c\/i\u003e adopts the concept of borderlands to examine contacts, crossings, and convergences between the nations, featuring specific case studies of topics like jazz, architecture, design, genealogy, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy placing interactions, entanglements, and cross-border relations at the center of the analysis, \u003ci\u003e Swedish-American Borderlands\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to bridge disciplinary divides, joining a diverse set of scholars and scholarship in writing an innovative history of Swedish-American relations to produce new understandings of what we perceive as Swedish, American, and Swedish American. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Philip J.
