      Bomfunk MCs, Darude, and HIM, he claims, are products of that part of Finnish culture that does not draw upon the national past and imagery of Finnishness, but instead borrows from the dialogue with ostensibly global popular music.
    • 2008, Christopher S. Browning, Constructivism, Narrative and Foreign Policy Analysis, page 74:
      This is not to say that before 1809 a notion of Finnishness did not exist, rather that Finnishness was not understood as the central identity marker of the people or understood as a political project.
