| Description: |
For the Sami of the Nordic countries, the last decades of the 20th century were a renaissance of sorts. The Soviet Sami, on the other hand, had little opportunity to develop independent ethno-political organizations and were isolated from their ethnic kin across the closed border. |
| Synopsis: |
The Sami are a Northern indigenous people whose land, Sapmi, spreads over the territories of four states: Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Russia. For the Sami of the Nordic countries, the last decades of the 20th century were a renaissance of sorts: their indigenous rights were partially recognized, they experienced a cultural and linguistic revival and Sami parliaments were established. The Soviet Sami, on the other hand, had little opportunity to develop independent ethno-political organizations and were isolated from their ethnic kin across the closed border. This book tells the story of what happened in the two decades that followed: the Russian Sami attempted a linguistic revival, sought to mend the Cold War scars across Sapmi, and established their own independent ethno-political organizations. |
