Det 20de Århundre ("The Twentieth Century") was a periodical published by the
Norwegian Labour Party.[1] It was based in
Oslo.[2]
History and profile
Its purpose was to print background articles on ideology and issues. For news, the party had a full network of newspapers, with Arbeiderbladet (earlier names: Vort Arbeide and Social-Demokraten) as the leading organ.
In 1911 it published a text which was written by internationally known
anti-SemiteTheodor Fritsch, and translated by the Norwegian anti-Semitic writer
Eivind Saxlund.[7] Saxlund had also written a preface. The text was both anti-Semitic and
racist in general.[8] The periodical printed a rebuttal in the next issue, but in 1912 Saxlund had an article of his own in print.[9] In it, he lamented a recent "
coolie shipment" of 25
Galician labour immigrants; this he perceived as a threat because of possible "
miscegenation".[10]
