   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Flexicurity; job insecurity; mental well-being; mentemployment security; income security; cognitive and affective insecurity; insider outsider divide; labour market policy; labour market paradigms; policy preferences;

Challenging this view, the present study claims that the Old World journey narrative lives on, but in new guises, and that it continues to be a forum for the discussion of American national identity.
