There is a strong story about how the humanities were marginalized in post-war Sweden: in the land of engineers, technocrats and social scientists, there was no room for education, philosophy and history. This book challenges such a notion and shows how clearly present the humanities were in the public eye at the time. By taking a knowledge-historical perspective, the authors illustrate how humanists were in the middle of the welfare society's culture and politics, media and book market, debate of ideas and education. At the center of the book is the public of the 1960s and 1970s. In the first part, it is highlighted how humanists played a decisive role in the young television's education program as well as in the popular science paperback publication of the time and on the essay pages of newspapers. In a second part, attention is drawn to the place of the humanities in the Christian cultural sphere, the work of educating the labor movement and the book cafes of the new left. We get to meet people like Per I. Gedin, Gunnel Vallquist and Jan-Öjvind Swahn, but also TV producers, study circle organizers, translators of radical non-fiction and several others. They all contributed to setting humanistic knowledge in motion during the post-war decades. Against an international background, the image of a humanistic knowledge system emerges with deep roots and wide branches in Swedish society. It is about these actors and arenas of knowledge that this book is about.

En rödmålad stuga med vita knutar är en svensk flagga. Den vajar på många sätt starkare i Sveriges kollektiva medvetande än ett gult kors mot blå bakgrund, och väcker en enkel värme inombords: doften av midsommarafton och kaffet efter skogspromenaden, tystnad och stillhet bortom stressen i stan. Den röda stugan är folkets stuga. Men för den som skrapar på ytan döljer sig en mer komplex historia under falufärgen. Var kommer stugan ifrån? Vem känner sig hemma i den? I "Stugland" spårar Göran Greider drömmen om stugan till det tidiga 1900-talets nationalromantik och spirande välfärdsstat. Boken är samtidigt en landsbygdsmemoar och en vindlande essä som rör sig mellan August Strindberg och Elsie Johansson, slagghögar i Falun och Thoreaus tjärn i Walden. Med typisk greidersk skärpa skärskådas dagens föränderliga politiska landskap, nationalstatens roll och den nationella gemenskap som är nödvändig för att skapa ett fungerande, jämlikt samhälle. "Stugland" är en vandring genom kulturhistorien som inte ryggar för samtidens mest brännande politiska frågor. Göran Greider är en av Sveriges mest älskade författare och inflytelserika offentliga intellektuella. Han är chefredaktör för tidningen Dala-Demokraten och har vunnit mängder av utmärkelser och litterära priser. Göran Greider har publicerat mer än 30 böcker och diktsamlingar.

"The first scholarly monograph in English to focus on the African and Black diaspora in Sweden, Afro-Sweden emphasizes the voices, experiences, practices, knowledge, and ideas of these communities. Its interdisciplinary approach to understanding diasporic communities is essential to contemporary conversations around such issues as the status and identity of racialized populations in Europe and the international impact of Black Lives Matter"--
