Finland has recently collected superlatives in a number of areas, from the happiest country in the world to the least corrupt country (not to mention Finland’s fame in the field of education). From working on this theme issue as JoFS’s general editor, I have now learned that Finland is also among the best countries for entrepreneurs (Entrepreneurship in Finland). The contributions to this issue encapsulate an attitude toward excellence: after having achieved impressive goals, one should not rest but must engage in a constant quest for further improvement. The articles show innovation and inspiration, and they do not shy away from identi- fying areas where more work is needed. The factors emphasized as prereq- uisites for the maintenance of excellence must include the willingness to invest in entrepreneurial education, to provide opportunities for business students to practice their skills in hands-on settings, and (3) to create and promote opportunities for collaboration between universities and businesses. Knowledge about personality types and human capital and their relationships with successful entrepreneurship must also be sought out, in order to support the growth. Digitalization of sales and commer- cialization of research are examples of changes that must be responded to in both business and the academic world. As Tiina Brandt points out in her introduction to this issue, Finland has done its part by providing an essential boost to entrepreneurship by its financial support during the 2020 pandemic. The guest editor, Dr. Tiina Brandt from Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, has compiled a collection of articles reflecting cut- ting-edge research on entrepreneurship in Finland. The collection grew out of two important conferences (in 2018 and 2019) held at the Tampere University of Applied Sciences—a concrete factor behind the choice of the Tampere crest for the cover of this issue. But the symbolism of the Tampere crest adds to the rationale behind this selection for our cover: the centrally depicted Tammerkoski Rapids motivated the very establishment of Tampere and enabled its development into a leading industrial town during the early decades of the nineteenth century. The hammer on the crest reminds one of Tampere’s many factories that have had an essential role in re-shaping Finland from an agricultural society into an industrial- ized nation. After World War II, Tampere’s metal industry, which included factories such as Lokomo and Tampella, helped to respond to Finland’s heavy task of paying war reparations (see, e.g., Finnish War Reparations to the Soviet Union). The caduceus on the crest stands not only for com- merce, trade, and logistics; it is also a symbol of messengers and negotia- tion. Let this theme issue be a messenger about Finland’s leading

  • Transnational Finnish Mobilities: Proceedings of Finnforum XI
    Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen This volume is based on a selection of papers presented at Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) the conference FinnForum XI: Transnational Finnish Mobili- ties, held in Turku, Finland, in 2016. The twelve chapters dis- cuss two key issues of our time, mobility and transnational- ism, from the perspective of Finnish migration. The volume is divided into four sections. Part I, Mobile Pasts, Finland and Beyond, brings forth how Finland’s past – often imagined TRANSNATIONAL as more sedentary than today’s mobile world – was molded by various short and long-distance mobilities that occurred FINNISH MOBILITIES: both voluntarily and involuntarily. In Part II, Transnational Influences across the Atlantic, the focus is on sociocultural PROCEEDINGS OF transnationalism of Finnish migrants in the early 20th cen- tury United States. Taken together, Parts I and II show how FINNFORUM XI mobility and transnationalism are not unique features of our FINNISH MOBILITIES TRANSNATIONAL time, as scholars tend to portray them. Even before modern communication technologies and modes of transportation, migrants moved back and forth and nurtured transnational ties in various ways. Part III, Making of Contemporary Finn- ish America, examines how Finnishness is understood and maintained in North America today, focusing on the con- cepts of symbolic ethnicity and virtual villages. Part IV, Con- temporary Finnish Mobilities, centers on Finns’ present-day emigration patterns, repatriation experiences, and citizen- ship practices, illustrating how, globally speaking, Finns are privileged in their ability to be mobile and exercise transna- tionalism. Not only is the ability to move spread very uneven- ly, so is the capability to upkeep transnational connections, be they sociocultural, economic, political, or purely symbol- ic.

  • Abstract Why Song?
    114 Yearbook of Population Research in Finland 35 (1998-1999), pp. 114-132 W ho do W e think W e are - the Finnishness in Finnish-A m erican songs JUHA NIEM ELÄ, M. A. Researcher Institute o f Migration Turku, Finland Abstract From the last part o f the 19th century, Finnish immigrants in North America were in­ volved in a variety of cultural activities. Among the many interests the immigrants had were music and songs, which were a natural part of their existence. My intention here is to give a brief overview of this area of tradition which is less known in every way. I will provide an idea o f the Finnish-American identity described in the songs o f Finns in America between the years 1900 and 1930. Sometimes only written by hand, published in a small booklet or printed by a Finnish-American organization as a songbook, or sung on major- label records, in these songs there can still be found traces of the individual mind and group voice o f these immigrants. The identity itself has a double meaning and is very well suited as a focus when discussing these songs. As we all know, one meaning of identity is sameness and another is distinctiveness, where the latter seems to refer to individual identity and the former has to do with a sense of commonality between several persons who constitute a group.' The song texts in question often more or less follow these given identity patterns. I am simply trying to find an answer to the following question: What was the identity that an individual Finn or Finns as a group wanted to manifest to other ethnic groups during the “golden years“ o f Finnish-American culture in the United States.

The Finnish-American Homeland rom the 1880s through the first two decades of the twentieth century, more than three hundred thousand Finns emigrated to the United States, where Fjobs could be found chiefly in mills, mines, factories, fisheries, and lumber camps . Roughly half were drawn to the Lake Superior region, settling in the western half of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, across Wisconsin's northern coun­ ties, and throughout northern Minnesota . When they could buy land, many scratched out an existence on small farms. These settlers and their offspring, like other newcomers to America, continued their old-country musical traditions . Hymns and social dance music were per­ formed in homes, but institutions that fostered music were thriving by the 1920s. Suomi Synod Lutheran churches, allied with Finland's state church, established choirs, while members of the charismatic Finnish Apostolic Lutheran Church composed new hymns and adapted American gospel songs. Temperance soci­ eties and socialists built halls where musical plays and social dances were com­ mon . Cooperative stores sold musical instruments and, eventually, phonographs and Finnish-American recordings . Meanwhile ethnic newspapers advertised and reported on musical events . The Girl Played like a Heavenly Bell Finnish-American social dance musicians and singers took particular advantage of this institutional infrastructure.

Mäki Trio and the Finnish dance music legacy in America. Pro gradu -tutkielma, 75 s., 2 liites. Etnomusikologia Heinäkuu 2003 _________________________________________________________________ Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan amerikansuomalaista tanssimusiikkikulttuuria yhden yhtyeen, Mäki Trion, kautta. Michiganilainen perheyhtye turvasi suomalaiseen 1900-luvun alun paritanssiperinteeseen valsseineen, jenkkoineen ja polkkineen. Perinteestä pidettiin tiukasti kiinni; Suomen musiikkielämän uusia virtauksia ei soitossa kuulu. Amerikkalaisvaikutteet rajoittuvat enimmäkseen ulkonäköseikkoihin ja soitinvalintoihin: perinteikäs haitari yhdistetään ennakkoluulottomasti jazz- musiikista lainattuihin banjoon, saksofoniin ja lyömäsoittimiin. Tutkimus rajautuu Yhdysvaltain suomalaiskeskittymiin 1920- ja 1930-lukujen taitteeseen. Aika oli amerikansuomalaisen kulttuurin kulta-aikaa. Ensimmäisen sukupolven suomalaissiirtolaisten määrä oli suurimmillaan, omat sanomalehdet välittivät tietoa, ja miltei jokaisella suomalaisten asuttamalla paikkakunnalla oli oma suomalainen seuraintalo, haali. Haalien suojissa siirtolaiskulttuuri kukoisti. Siellä näyteltiin, soitettiin, laulettiin, tanssittiin, voimisteltiin, lausuttiin ja kokoonnuttiin tapaamaan tuttavia. 1930-luvulta alkaen siirtolaiskulttuuri
