During the past decade, Finnish historians have shown an increasing interest in analyzing the implications of colonialism in the Finnish context. As historians are latecomers in discussions on the effect of colonialism in Finnish society and culture, this article examines what kind of scholarly and other fields of discussion they are now joining. By combining historiographic and ethnographic approaches and by crossing disciplinary boundaries, the article first outlines the relation of Finnish historical research to colonialism before the 2010s. Secondly, it analyzes how, from the 1970s onwards, multidisciplinary postcolonial theorizations and, more recently, claims for decolonization have reached Finland and become integrated into the research conducted in various disciplines as well as in the fields of identity politics and activism. The article concludes by describing how exploring colonialism and addressing its legacies also in the Finnish context can lead to increasingly inclusive interpretations of national history.
