This book investigates the Thirty Years War (1618–1648) in the context of the Military Revolution theory that connects military transformations with early modern state formation. Instead of focusing on technological and tactical developments this book examines change and decline in military institutions. This systemic approach offers a reappraisal of the Military Revolution theory and offers new insights into the Thirty Years War.
Book Details
This book reinterprets the Finnish experiences in North America by connecting them to the transnational processes of settler colonial conquest, far-settlement, elimination of natives, and capture of terrestrial spaces. It places Finns as active participants in settler colonial histories, circulations of knowledge, and their ongoing legacies.
Book DetailsThis multidisciplinary volume reflects the shifting experiences and framings of Finnishness and its relation to race and coloniality. The authors centre their investigations on whiteness and unravel the cultural myth of a normative Finnish (white) ethnicity. Rather than presenting a unified definition for whiteness, the book gives space to the different understandings and analyses of its authors. This collection of case-studies illuminates how Indigenous and ethnic minorities have participated in defining notions of Finnishness, how historical and recent processes of migration have challenged the traditional conceptualisations of the nation-state and its population, and how imperial relationships have contributed to a complex set of discourses on Finnish compliance and identity.
