Dive into the enlightening world of Swedish colonial history with the newly published book Neutrality's Empire. Join authors Per Högselius, David Nilsson, and Hanna Vikström as they shed light on Sweden's involvement in colonial undertakings during the industrial age.
Although Sweden sold its last territory, the island of Saint-Barthélemy, in 1878, its influence lingered on in colonial and post-colonial arenas. Notably, the period from 1910 to 1965 marks a significant era of Swedish industrial colonialism.
