"This book is not a monograph dealing with ethnography, regional geography, or history. Rather, in a refined way, Veli-Pekka Lehtola weaves an historical and contemporary picture of the Sámi and Sápmi by presenting aspects and events that are characteristic of Sámi traditions in transitions. By transitions he means the internal and external developments and climaxes that have shaped Sámi culture and society as Sámi express their voices today in multifaceted ways within the context of continuous contact with neighbouring societies who have the majority and power."--Preface
Note:
"Translation from the revised and updated original Finnish of 'Saamelaiset - Historia Yheiskunta, Taide'."
