Scandinavian colonialism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scandinavian colonialism is a subdivision within broader colonial studies that emphasizes the role of European Nordic nations in achieving economic benefits from non-Western cultural groups. The field ranges from studying the Saami in relation to the Norwegian state, to activities of the Danish Empire in Africa and on Caribbean islands such as St. Thomas. Several American universities offer courses concerning the developing field. [1] [2]
