  • An African Alternative : Nordic Migration to South Africa, 1815-1914
    Bero Kuparinen ' . AN AFRICAN ALTERNATIVE Nordic Migration to South Africa, 1815-1914 During the 19th century migrations, tens of millions of Europeans exchanged their native lands for new homes beyond the oceans. Although the great majority made their way to North America, the other continents received their share, too. One of the least conspicuous groups of migrants consisted of those moving to South Africa, anp ' they are also amongst the least investigated. In this study the migration to South Africa has been examined in terms of the movement from the four Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. A comprehensive portrait is created of the African Alternative: its origins and causes, its historical development, its volume, patterns of geographical recruitment qnd composition. Who were the migrants, where did they come from, and why?

TII.GMANN AB. Htl;;inki 1917 PREFACE As a consequence of the Second World War, most European nations are passing through difficulties of both political and eco­ noiDlc nature. Finland constitutes no exception to this general rule. In her case it is a fact, however, that the framework of her political · structure, as molded by centuries of experience and development, proved capable of withstAnding the strain and hardships of two wars. The Constitution she gave herself in 1919 stands intrinsically intact, and the Finnish democracy faces the postwar tasks of rehabilitation convinced of the soundness of its principles. Two treaties agreed upon by Finland and the nations against whom she found herself engaged in war, viz. the Peace Treaty signed in Moscow on March t2, 19,0, and the Peace Treaty signed in Paris on February 10, t9,7, govern Finland's position as an independent republic. The Finnish people· see in a faithful and scrupulous fulfilment on their part of the obligations laid down in these documents a guarantee for Finland's future existence and security. By so doing they hope to further also the best interests of all peoples aspiring to a durable Solution of problems left by a devastating war. The working of Finnish del:nocracy and the international position of Finland as defined in the above-mentioned instruments constitute the main theme of this booklet.

  • Seminar of the UBC Commission on Urban
    ABC - Alliance of Baltic Cities Cities as Regional Engines 16-19.10.2003 Vaasa, Finland Union of the Baltic-Cities Commission on Urban planning Dear members of the ABC project and all other readers of this report Vaasa is the main regional centre of Ostrobothnia, located in the western central part of Finland. Therefore, it was natural for the City of Vaasa to accept the hosting of the second ABC semi- nar, on the theme “Cities as Regional Engines”. I was pleased to welcome to Vaasa as many as 46 urban planners of various professions from 23 cities in seven different countries during the days of the seminar. It gave us from Vaasa the opportunity to make the City of Vaasa and the Vaasa-region better known and to spread that knowledge among our fellow members in the Union of Baltic Cities. It also gave us the possibility to receive new professionally created ideas and new angles on solutions to some of our own urban planning questions in Vaasa. I hope the participants had a worthwhile and interesting time in Vaasa during the seminar and that they took many good memories and impressions of Vaasa back home with them, as well as some new experiences of best practice. I also believe that the seminar created a further development of contacts between all urban planning colleagues within the network, which was built and sup- ported by the ABC-project. I would like to thank all the members of the ABC project for your participation and for your contributions to fi nding new ways for the City of Vaasa to become an even better regional en- gine than it is already.

  • The Character and Significance of Migration Traditions from Finland to North America
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Copenhagen Business School: CBS Open Journals American Studies in Scandinavia, Vol. 9, 1977: 95-104 The character and significance of migration traditions from Finland to North America By Reino Kero University of Turku In some areas of Finland emigration was intense over several decades, but the objective of migrations from other certain areas might have been some particular city in the homeland. An intense emigration to transatlantic countries was part of the migration traditions of Vaasa province, while in the provinces of eastern and southern Finland, this tradition was very weak and short-lived. We can thus say that the migration traditions of Vaasa province were very different from those of eastern and southern Fin1and.l Most communes in Vaasa province had an intense emigration tradition to transatlantic countries, but the streams of emigrants coming from these communes are found to be remarkably different if the destinations of the streams are compared. Similar results can be found if the weaker emigration streams from other provinces are studied. A few particularly distinctly observable traditions are given below as examples. In 1882,2 48 emigrants departed for transatlantic countries from the neighbouring communes of Ylistaro and Isokyro. Of these, 24 (50.0%) had purchased tickets to Ohio. In 1890, 81 emigrants departed, 10 (12.3 O/o) of whom went to Ohio, and of 365 emigrants leaving in 1905, 88 (24.1 %) were destined for Ohio. Only 5.3%) 2.5% and 3.4% of the total Finnish emigration during these years was directed to Ohio.

First and foremost, I would like to mention Vilho NIITEMAA, Professor Emeritus of General History at the University of Turku, who originally guided me to a topic of research which has since then dominated my activities in many ways. In conjunction with Professor Niitemaa's Migration History Project, I have had a number of opportunities to carry out research in the United States and Canada. These visits have also given me the personal occasion to interiorize those factors making to diminish or increase the probability of return, towards which each and every migrant was forced to clarify his stance, and which form the central theme in my dissertation.
