Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a retrospective analysis of Finland's political history over the last century. The author contends that Finland's internal divisions are not nationalistic in nature, as commonly believed, but are instead a power struggle between the Finnish nation and a privileged, Swedish-speaking upper class. The book demonstrates how this class, which has held a monopoly on secondary education and government positions, has sought to maintain its position at the expense of the Finnish-speaking majority. The author argues that this has created a conflict not only over language but also over the development of Finnish culture and the implementation of social and economic reforms. The book traces the course of this struggle over the past hundred years, from the time of Nicholas I to the present day. It also discusses the setbacks and the victories experienced by the Finnish people. Ultimately, the book sheds light on the complex ways in which language, power, and social inequality intersect within a nation's political landscape.
