    Regional Oral History Off ice University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Richard B. Gump COMPOSER, ARTIST, AND PRESIDENT OF GUMP'S, SAN FRANCISCO An Interview Conducted by Suzanne B. Riess in 1987 Copyright @ 1989 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West,and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between the University of California and Richard B. Gump dated 7 March 1988. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley. No part of the manuscript may be quoted for publication without the written permission of the Director of The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

The thesis shows that ethnic activists, experts and offi cials were instrumental in the establishment of multiculturalism in Sweden, as they also were in two other early adopters of multiculturalism, Canada and Australia. The breakthrough of multiculturalism, such as it was within the limits of the social democratic welfare-state, was facilitated by who the advocates were, for whom they made their claims, the way the idea of multiculturalism was conceptualised and legitimised as well as the migratory context. 9 789521 231339 ISBN 978-952-12-3133-9 Mats Wikstrom B5 Kansi s16 Inver260 9 December 2014 2:21 PM THE MULTICULTURAL MOMENT © Mats Wickström 2015 Cover picture by Mats Wickström & Frey Wickström Author’s address: History Dept. of Åbo Akademi

Actionable ideas for policies that affect our security and our relations with the world. This is the Wilson Center – and we’ve never been more needed than we are today.” Jane Harman Director, President, and CEO Dear friends, It is with great pleasure and pride that we share our annual report. Our scholars and experts represent more than a dozen geographically or topically focused programs and initiatives. They are global policy-shapers and headline-makers. Each year, our Fellowship Program hosts over 150 scholars from around the world. As one of the Center’s signature pillars, it is a testament to our lack of complacency and commitment to enriching policy discussions with worldly perspectives. By leveraging deep experience in government, academia, and other sectors, our experts and fellows offer strictly nonpartisan insight – and trusted foresight – in international relations, security and defense, trade, conflict-resolution, and much more. We encourage you to learn more about our work and our experts and fellows, and rely on them as a resource and a value- addition to you and your own work. They are at the heart of why the Wilson Center is ranked the #1 regional studies think tank and one of the top overall think tanks in the world. Sincerely, Fred Malek Chairman, Board of Trustees Table of Contents pages 1-4 pages 5-10 R RES E EA W R O C P H G & N I A N #1 N E A V L
