About This Item
Goteborg: Goteborg University, 2003. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. Good. x, [2], 324 pages. Abbreviations. A Note on Terminology. Footnotes. Illustrations. Tables. Appendix. Bibliography. This is number 34 of the Dissertations from the Department of History Goteborg University series. Dr. Burton was a graduate student lecturer in American history, specializing in the Vietnam War era. He advised over fifty student dissertations between 1998 and 2003. He was nominated for the Eloquentia Prize as the University's best lecturer: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002. His doctoral dissertation was "The Swedish-American Press and the Vietnam War". This study examines how the Swedish-American newspapers commented on the issues of war and identity during the Vietnam War. It is the first major work to survey the post-1945 Swedish emigrant press, and it draws from previously unpublished government and newspaper sources. These archive documents reveal the Swedish Foreign Ministry helped supply the emigrant papers with news that told events from Sweden's perspective. Did this Swedish news influence the emigrant editors so they backed the Swedish position on Vietnam? This is at the core of this doctoral thesis. Along the way, it also shows the emigrant community in transition, redefining itself, and its struggling newspapers fighting to stay alive.
