This study examines and explains how British explorers visualized the African interior in the latter part of the nineteenth century, providing the first sustained analysis of the process by which this visual material was transformed into the illustrations in popular travel books. At that time, central Africa was, effectively, a blank canvas for Europeans, unknown and devoid of visual representations. While previous works have concentrated on exploring the stereotyped nature of printed imagery of Africa, this study examines the actual production process of images and the books in which they were published in order to demonstrate how, why, and by whom the images were manipulated. Thus, the main focus of the work is not on the aesthetic value of pictures, but in the activities, interaction, and situations that gave birth to them in both Africa and Europe.

Breaking new ground in the study of European colonialism, this book focuses on a nation historically positioned between the Western and Eastern Empires of Europe – Finland. Although Finland never had overseas colonies, the authors argue that the country was undeniably involved in the colonial world, with Finns adopting ideologies and identities that cannot easily be disentangled from colonialism. This book explores the concepts of ‘colonial complicity’ and ‘colonialism without colonies’ in relation to Finland, a nation that was oppressed, but also itself complicit in colonialism. It offers insights into European colonialism on the margins of the continent and within a nation that has traditionally declared its innocence and exceptionalism. The book shows that Finns were active participants in various colonial contexts, including Southern Africa and Sápmi in the North. Demonstrating that colonialism was a common practice shared by all European nations, with or without formal colonies, this book provides essential reading for anyone interested in European colonial history.Chapters 1, 7 and 8 are available open access under a via link.springer.com.>

Keskustelu kulttuurisesta moninaisuudesta, vähemmistöjen identiteettipoliittisista kamppailuista ja marginalisoitujen ryhmien asemasta jatkuu. Kansainvälisessä museotyössä on jo pitkään etsitty uusia tapoja tuottaa tietoa eri kulttuureista ja erilaisista ihmisryhmistä. Nykyaikainen museotyö haastaa kolonialismin ja muiden valtasuhteiden värittämää maailmankuvaa ja pyrkii uudistamaan museotyön käytäntöjä yhdenvertaisuuden, kulttuurisen moninaisuuden ja saavutettavuuden näkökulmista. "Marginaaleista museoihin" on ensimmäinen näitä teemoja laajasti tarkasteleva monitieteinen suomenkielinen teos. Se korostaa museoiden yhteiskunnallista vaikutusta ja vastuuta. Teos tarjoaa uusia välineitä niin käytännön museotyöhön kuin museoiden tutkimukseen. Alan haasteita ja muutoksia käsitellään monitieteisten tutkimuskeskustelujen ja useiden tapaustutkimusten avulla. Museoiden ja marginalisaation suhteisiin pureudutaan niin kokoelmatyön, näyttelysuunnittelun kuin asiakastyön näkökulmista. Teoreettiset keskustelut ja käytännön museotyön sovellukset limittyvät kirjassa luontevasti toisiinsa. Intersektionaalinen lähestymistapa sitoo yhteen kysymykset monien erilaisten vähemmistöjen huomioimisesta, muuttoliikkeiden merkityksistä museotyölle sekä dekolonisaatiosta ja alkuperäiskansojen kulttuuriomaisuuden palauttamisvaatimuksista. Teoksen toimittajat, sosiaaliantropologian yliopistonlehtori, dosentti Anna Rastas (Tampereen yliopisto) ja yleisen historian professori Leila Koivunen (Turun yliopisto) ovat perehtyneet museoiden lisäksi kolonialismin, dekolonisaation, kansainvälisen liikkuvuuden, etnisten suhteiden, rasismin ja marginalisaation kysymyksiin. Teoksen kirjoittajakunta edustaa useita eri tieteenaloja, joukossa on monia museoalan ammattilaisia sekä taiteilijoita ja aktivisteja.
