Inari Sami Folklore by August V Koskimies
A rich multivoiced anthology of folktales, legends, joik songs, proverbs, riddles, and other verbal art, this is the most comprehensive collection of Sami oral tradition available in English to date. Collected in the 1880s, the material reveals a complex web of social relations that existed both inside and far beyond the community.
Frandy has made visible a goldmine of folklore that has been invisible to outsiders, and he introduces it in a deeply informed, nuanced context" - Krister Stoor, Umeå University
"A glimpse of a wide range of oral genres from a little-known Sámi group during the nineteenth century that will fascinate people interested in the folklore of the Sámi, Scandinavian studies, and the study of Indigenous communities." - John Lindow, University of California, Berkeley
"A work of intellectual and cultural repatriation that re-asserts SÁmi intellectual and cultural sovereignty within the field of global literature. . . . The text demonstrates how even texts and monuments taken hundreds of years ago in the name of nationalizing projects can be re-appropriated, re-signified, and ultimately returned to their communities." - Asymptote
