註釋
In these nine essays Vilhelm Moberg blends history with poetic license to create an America viewed by a Swedish emigrant in the middle of the 20th century.
Roger McKnight' s translation of
The Unknown Swedes
is the first English-language book to reveal Moberg' s views on emigration, America, and Sweden. In the 1950 edition of
The Unknown Swedes,
Moberg was guardedly optimistic about the United States. In 1968 Moberg, distraught at America' s involvement in the Vietnam War, appended the chapter "Twenty Years Later" to the new edition of
The Unknown Swedes.
This essay attacks "vulgar patriotism" in America.
