Foreign Student: February 1981

The February 1981 issue was the second of eleven newsletters that came out. The Foreign Student played an important role in giving migrants a voice during a period when foreigners were supposed to remain quiet about their civil rights.

Published in 1981, I wouldn’t have used today words like “Gypsy” and “Lapp” to refer to the Roma and Saami, respectively.

The second issue tried to speak about immigration and question Finland’s very restrictive policy towards foreigners.
