Sámi Research in Transition: Knowledge

For several decades now, there have been calls to decolonize research on the Indigenous Sلmi people, and to make it accountable to the Sلmi society. While this has contributed to the rise of a vibrant Sلmi research community in the Nordic countries, less attention has been paid to what extent, and how the "Sلmi turn" in research has been implemented in practice. Written by prominent Nordic and Sلmi scholars anchored in the Sلmi research communities in Finland, Norway and Sweden, this volume explores not only the meanings and implications of this turn across disciplines, but also some of the challenges that efforts to create space for Sلmi voices, knowledges and perspectives still meet today. The book provides a timely, interdisciplinary engagement with the central themes that have framed the development of Sلmi research, and a critical appraisal of the impact that efforts to decolonize research in the Sلmi context have had upon Nordic societies and state policies so far. Sلmi Research in Transition is valuable for scholars and students interested in Sلmi history and society, Arctic and Circumpolar Indigenous studies and critical studies on the relationship between knowledge and social change.
