Product Information

This succinct yet comprehensive volume outlines the contributions and culture of Minnesota's Finnish Americans, perhaps best known for their cooperative ventures, their political involvement, and, of course, their saunas. Minnesota's first Finnish immigrants settled in the south-central area of the state shortly after arriving in 1864; they were the vanguard for thousands who eventually and resolutely placed Minnesota second among the states in terms of Finnish population. Today we may recognize Minnesota's "Finnishness" in the popular sauna, in the characteristic tenacity known as sisu, or in place names and cultural markers that link to homeland. Finns in Minnesota traces the Finns' migration to the state, their log construction techniques, and their ethnic organizations, from religious to political to fraternal. Colorful sidebars enliven the narrative, highlighting such topics as "Finglish," New World legends, and the 1920s Olympic competitors in track and field known as the "Flying Finns." A separate thread tells the story of the Finland Swedes--"the minority within a minority"--whose members were born in Finland but spoke Swedish and thus straddled two ethnic groups, belonging fully to neither. The book concludes with a personal narrative of Fred Torma (1888-1979), a miner and carpenter from Nashwauk, who describes establishing a Socialist hall, involvement in the 1907 Mesabi strike, and founding a cooperative boardinghouse and store. His is just one engaging example of the vibrant lives and legacy of Finnish Americans in Minnesota.

Reviews
"With a thorough command of his subject matter, Arnold Alanen has written an engaging account of the Finnish imprint on Minnesota and of Minnesota's reciprocal impact on its large Finnish population. Finns in Minnesota is one of those rare books that is at once edifying and entertaining, of value to both scholars and non-scholars." -- Peter Kivisto, Richard A. Swanson Professor of Social Thought, Augustana College, and Finland Distinguished Professor, University of Turku "In this balanced and comprehensive narrative, Alanen opens a richly detailed window into Minnesota geography, culture, and life. How Finns interacted with America, not just Minnesota, comes to life in these pages." --K. Marianne Wargelin, Honorary Consul of Finland and independent scholar
