Scandinavian colonialism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scandinavian colonialism is a subdivision within broader colonial studies that discusses the role of Scandinavian nations in achieving economic benefits from outside of their own cultural sphere. The field ranges from studying the Sami in relation to the Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish states, to activities of the Danish-Norwegian and Swedish Empire in Africa and on Caribbean islands such as St. Thomas and Saint-Barthélemy.
Some American universities offer courses concerning the developing field.[1]
