In their recently published book "Neutrality's Empire", Per Högselius, David Nilsson and Hanna Vikström examine Sweden's actions in colonial arenas during the industrial age.

Although Sweden did not have any colonies of its own after 1878 (when the island of Saint-Barthélemy was sold), Swedish actors were active in the colonial and post-colonial world. The period 1910-1965 in particular was a golden age for Swedish industrial colonialism.

Lecture with Per Högselius, professor of history of technology at KTH in Stockholm.

This lecture is organised by the Institute of studies in Malmö’s History and the Institute of Urban Research, Malmö University. The lecture is open to everyone, no registration is required. Lecture will be held in English.

Svensk kolonialism i industrialismens tidsålder

Tid: onsdag 18 februari 09:15
Plats: Niagara, Nordenskiöldsgatan 1, Hörsal B2


I sin nyss utkomna bok "Neutrality’s Empire" undersöker Per Högselius, David Nilsson och Hanna Vikström Sveriges agerande på koloniala arenor under den industriella tidsåldern.

Även om Sverige efter 1878 (när ön Saint-Barthélemy såldes) inte hade några egna kolonier så var svenska aktörer aktiva i den koloniala och postkoloniala världen. Särskilt perioden 1910-1965 artade sig till en guldålder för svensk industriell kolonialism.

Föreläsning med Per Högselius, professor i teknikhistoria vid KTH i Stockholm.

Föreläsningen arrangeras av Institutet för studier i Malmös historia och Institutet för urbanforskning, Malmö högskola. Föreläsningen är öppen för alla, ingen föranmälan krävs.

OBS: Föreläsningen hålls på engelska.
