Neutrality's Empire: Swedish Colonialism in the Industrial Age

By Per Högselius

An illuminating reappraisal of the intersections between Swedish colonialism and its industrial history, Neutrality's Empire explores how Swedish actors-ranging from diplomats and business leaders to missionaries, geologists and engineers-leveraged Sweden's political neutrality and scientific prestige to spearhead extractivist colonial projects across Africa and Asia, without scrutiny or criticism.
