Islands of Identity Islands of Identity of Islands Gotland, Åland, Saaremaa, Hiiumaa and Bornholm are five island regions in the Baltic Sea which constitute, or have until recently constituted, provinces or counties of their own. Combining perspectives from two disparate academic fields, uses of history and island studies, this book investigates how regional history writing has contributed to the formation of regional identity on these islands since the year 1800. The special geographic situation of the islands-somewhat secluded from the mainland but also connected to important waterways-has provided their inhabitants with shared historical experiences. Due to varying geographic and historical circumstances, the relationship between regional and national identity is Islands however different on each island. While regional history writing has in most cases aimed at integrating the island into the nation state, it has on Åland in the second half of Identity of the 20th century been used to portray its inhabitants History-writing and identity formation as a separate nation. Dramatic political upheavals as the in five island regions in the Baltic Sea World Wars has also caused shifts in how regional history writing has represented the relationship to the mainland nation state, and has sometimes also resulted in altered & Holmén Edquist national loyalties.

Our initial plan was to divide the work of the project equally, but as Samuel and Erik were simultaneously engaged in other projects, Janne gradually took over a larger part. In the finished book, Janne has written the introduction, the conclusion, and the sections on Åland, Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, and Bornholm. Samuel has written the section about Gotland, while Erik Axelsson has been project leader and initiated a survey of Bornholmian sources that turned out to be a highly valuable basis for Janne’s continued research about the island. All three of us have read and commented upon the draft book in its entirety. We—Samuel and Janne—would like to thank Erik for his contributions and enthusiastic companionship. In the course of the project we have received invaluable help from many scholars, librarians, and others knowledgeable about regional history, of whom we can mention only a few by name. Kenneth Gustavs- son and Dan Nordman have given valuable comments on the essay on Ålandic history-writing. Professor Nils Erik Villstrand contributed with insights into the general state of regional history-writing in Finland. Katrin Aar at the Archival Library in Kuressaare was of great help in finding sources from Saaremaa, and Olavi Pesti and Marika Mägi have commented on the essay about Saaremaa. Geltmar von Buxhöwden was of help in unravelling the biographical and genealogical information about the history writers and historical figures from the Buxhöwden family. The director of Hiiumaa museum, Helgi Põllo, has been of great help in many ways, and Vello Kaskor has also read the essay about Hiiumaa. Ann Vibeke Knudsen, former director of Bornholm’s museum, was of great help in the project’s initial stages. The Bornholmian archaeologist Finn Ole Sonne Nielsen provided valuable input regarding Bornholm’s 7 ISLANDS OF IDENTITY older history. Karin Larsen at the Centre for Regional and Tourism Research has also read the essay about Bornholm, and honoured us with an invitation to publish an article about our project in the anthology From One Island to Another. Olof Hansson and Lars Hermanson are to be thanked for their valuable comments on the Gotland essay. Professor Torkel Jansson in Uppsala has given valuable feedback on large portions of the manuscript. Parts of the manuscript have been presented at seminars at the Institute of Contemporary History at Södertörn University and at the Department of History at Uppsala University. The Publication Commit- tee at Södertörn University has also been of great help in seeing the book to print. The project has been represented at several seminars, conferences, and workshops: ‘Katoaako kansallinen identiteetti’ in Helsinki in 2009; ‘Islands of the world’ on Bornholm in 2010; ‘Shared past—conflicting histories’ in Turku in 2011; ‘Öande och öighet’, arranged by Owe Ronström in Stockholm in 2012; and the Swedish History Days confer- ence in Mariehamn in 2012. Ålands kulturstiftelse provided financial support for Janne’s initial studies on Åland. Finally, we would like to thank the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies, which has financed our research project and has dis- played great flexibility in accommodating the changes we have been forced to make in the project’s original timetable. 8 History-writing and identity formation in five island regions in the Baltic Sea Janne Holmén The sea creates distance to the mainland, providing islands with ‘natural boundaries’; simultaneously, it functions as a route of communication with foreign shores. Political changes may shift the balance between the separating and the connecting properties of the sea. For example, the collapse of the Iron Curtain after 1989 helped the Baltic Sea regain its position as a link between peoples instead of a moat separating them. Our aim is to investigate how the geographic situation of islands—isolation in combination with potentially far-reaching waterway connections—af- fects the formation of identities in interplay with political changes and cultural processes. We investigate if and how a regional island identity is expressed in regional history-writing from the large islands in the Baltic Sea during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with particular focus on how it related to other sub-national, national, and regional identities. History-writing is strongly linked to the formulation of collective iden- tities. Quite a lot of historiographical research has been committed to asking how historians, by writing about ‘their’ past, have constructed national identities, but thus far the emergence of regional identities has been less studied. In this research project, we have chosen historical works produced or initiated on Baltic islands, in the assumption that the islanders in those books are making a statement about where they come from, who they are, where they have their loyalties, and with what historical periods, peoples, and realms they identify. It must be emphasized that the views on history and identity that are revealed in these sources are the ones held by a regional intellectual elite, who were attempting to influence popular sentiment on the islands. Thus we do not attempt to investigate views of 9 ISLANDS OF IDENTITY history at the grassroots level, for which ethnological or folkloric sources would have been more appropriate, or to describe the progress of the academic discourse about the islands’ history. That said, the regional history-writing which we investigate has of course developed in interplay with both popular and academic understandings of history, and often these categories are to some extent amalgamated. The islands selected for the studies are Gotland, the Åland Islands, Hiiumaa, Saaremaa, and Bornholm.

  • Gammalsvenskby the True Story of the Swedish Settlement in the Ukraine
    Gammalsvenskby The true story of the Swedish settlement in the Ukraine Author: Jörgen Hedman © Copyright The people of Gammalsvenskby in the Ukraine, a summary In the year 1781 one thousand Swedish peasants from Dagö in Estonia were transported to southern Ukraine, where Catherine II (the Great), Empress of Russia, gave them new land. After an eight-month journey through Russia, during which half of them lost their lives the Swedes reached their destination. Instead of the houses and the cultivated land they had been promised an empty plain met them. Suffering extreme hardships and often tormented by bandit raids, famine and diseases, they built a settlement that was called Gammalsvenskby. It is not difficult to be fascinated by Gammalsvenskby and the destiny of its inhabitants. Here we meet Swedes who could witness history change the world, Swedes who, although being tormented by famine and diseases, worked hard and broke new soil in a cosmopolitan and unstable corner of Europe. This part of the world was the scene of events of international and domestic significance: the Crimean War 1853-56, World War 1, the October-revolution, bandit-raids during the said revolution, the Civil war between the White and the Red armies. This was followed by the Collectivization of the farmers, Stalin’s terror during the thirties, the Second World War and the German occupation in 1941-44, which for the people of Gammalsvenskby ended with a transportation to camps in Germany. Later in 1945 this led to the deportation to labor camps in Siberia. Treachery and exploitation runs all through their history: 17th- and 18th- century Swedish landlords on Dagö, who infringed their rights, betrayed them.

  • Production of Edible Seaweed Flags: Danish Small Islands & Bornholm Islands of Anholt, Fejø, Skarø, Årø, Bjørnø, Ertholmene, Bornholm, Thurø (Denmark)
    European Commission Project Case Study Production of edible seaweed FLAGs: Danish Small Islands & Bornholm Islands of Anholt, Fejø, Skarø, Årø, Bjørnø, Ertholmene, Bornholm, Thurø (Denmark) Project overview Anholt This project involves cooperation between stakeholders from two Danish FLAGs, one on the island of Bornholm and the other covering DENMARK SWEDEN smaller islands, in commercially exploiting sea- weed, an overlooked resource in Danish waters. Arø Ertholmene By promoting the sustainable cultivation, har- Thurø Bornholm vesting and processing of seaweed, the project Bjørnø Skarø will assist in diversifying the local economies of Fejø the islands, thereby helping to maintain strong local populations and vibrant communities. GERMANY Context and Key Challenges The small Danish islands and Bornholm are remote areas, threatened by depopulation and a loss of business opportuni- ties. Seaweed production presents a potential new opportu- nity for local entrepreneurs, including fishermen. If exploited successfully, it could help to broaden the range of products offered locally and lead to increased earnings for local food producers and restaurants. While there is no tradition of cultivating, harvesting, or exploiting seaweed in Denmark, with the growing popularity of sushi and the development of the New Nordic Cuisine, Danish seaweed is increasingly in demand. Danish waters pro- duce, or can produce, similar seaweed species to those grown in East Asia or in the Atlantic. The quality of this seaweed is excellent, and for some purposes even better than imported dried seaweeds because of the limited salinity levels in some parts of the Danish waters. Many of the 27 small Danish Islands with less than 1 000 inhabitants are, together with Bornholm, well known for food production.

  • Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines
    Title: Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines Teacher: Anne Sharkey, Huntley High School Summary: This lesson took part as a comparison of the different aspects of the Spanish maritime empires with a comparison of Spanish colonization of Mexico & Cuba to that of the Philippines. The lessons in this unit begin with a basic understanding of each land based empire of the time period 1450-1750 (Russia, Ottomans, China) and then with a movement to the maritime transoceanic empires (Spain, Portugal, France, Britain). This lesson will come after the students already have been introduced to the Spanish colonial empire and the Spanish trade systems through the Atlantic and Pacific. Through this lesson the students will gain an understanding of Spanish systems of colonial rule and control of the peoples and the territories. The evaluation of causes of actions of the Spanish, reactions to native populations, and consequences of Spanish involvement will be discussed with the direct correlation between the social systems and structures created, the influence of the Christian missionaries, the rebellions and conflicts with native populations between the two locations in the Latin American Spanish colonies and the Philippines. Level: High School Content Area: AP World History, World History, Global Studies Duration: Lesson Objectives: Students will be able to: Compare the economic, political, social, and cultural structures of the Spanish involvement in Latin America with the Spanish involvement with the Philippines Compare the effects of mercantilism on Latin America and the Philippines Evaluate the role of the encomienda and hacienda system on both regions Evaluate the influence of the silver trade on the economies of both regions Analyze the creation of a colonial society through the development of social classes—Peninsulares, creoles, mestizos, mulattos, etc.

  • Preoccupied by the Past
    © Scandia 2010 http://www.tidskriftenscandia.se/ Preoccupied by the Past The Case of Estonian’s Museum of Occupations Stuart Burch & Ulf Zander The nation is born out of the resistance, ideally without external aid, of its nascent citizens against oppression […] An effective founding struggle should contain memorable massacres, atrocities, assassina- tions and the like, which serve to unite and strengthen resistance and render the resulting victory the more justified and the more fulfilling. They also can provide a focus for a ”remember the x atrocity” histori- cal narrative.1 That a ”foundation struggle mythology” can form a compelling element of national identity is eminently illustrated by the case of Estonia. Its path to independence in 98 followed by German and Soviet occupation in the Second World War and subsequent incorporation into the Soviet Union is officially presented as a period of continuous struggle, culminating in the resumption of autonomy in 99. A key institution for narrating Estonia’s particular ”foundation struggle mythology” is the Museum of Occupations – the subject of our article – which opened in Tallinn in 2003. It conforms to an observation made by Rhiannon Mason concerning the nature of national museums. These entities, she argues, play an important role in articulating, challenging and responding to public perceptions of a nation’s histories, identities, cultures and politics. At the same time, national museums are themselves shaped by the nations within which they are located.2 The privileged role of the museum plus the potency of a ”foundation struggle mythology” accounts for the rise of museums of occupation in Estonia and other Eastern European states since 989.
