The Dialogue between Finland and the United States - and the Finnish-Americans

Abstrakti

As a historian, I shall outline the Finnish-American relations from the 19th century from two perspectives: 1) by introducing very briefly the main trends in the cultural interaction and how it has changed in time; 2) by looking at people, i.e. the Finnish immigrants and their descendants, who physically founded their colonies in the New World, but also helped build the Finnish-American connection.
