New People. Nationality and Labor Politics 1901-1944. By Ragnheiður Kristjánsdóttir.
The formation of an Icelandic nation-state was the most pressing political issue in the early years of the labor movement. Did it limit its scope in the political arena, or did it increase its impact? How did the discourse of the independence struggle shape the identity of Icelandic workers? To what extent did it oppose or influence the development of Icelandic nationalism? How was the political discourse of the labor parties, which was originally socialist, related to the nationalist discourse? What role did the labor parties play in the formation of the Icelandic nation-state? The book seeks answers to these questions. Its aim is to explain the nature and development of the nationalism that can be discerned in the political discourse of the Icelandic labor movement and the parties that were founded in its name in the years 1901–1944. (Bókatíðindi 2008).
