Memory Institutions and Sámi Heritage

With a focus on Sápmi - the transcultural and transnational homeland of the Sámi people - this book presents case studies and theoretical frameworks which explore the ways in which memory institutions such as museums, archives, and festivals participate in and guide processes of appropriation, decolonization, and memory-making.
