Summary:
"Indigenous religion(s) are afterlives of a particular sort, shaped by globalizing discourses on what counts as an indigenous religion on the one hand and the continued presence of local traditions on the other. Focusing on the Norwegian side of Sapmi since the 1970s, this book explores the reclaiming of ancestral pasts and notions of a specifically Sami religion. It connects religion, identity- and nation building, and takes seriously the indigenous turn as well as geographical and generational distinctions. Focal themes include protective activism and case studies from the art and culture domain, both of which are considered vital to the making of indigenous afterlives in indigenous formats. This volume will be of great interest to scholars of Global Indigenous studies, Sami cultural studies and politics, Ethnicity and emergence of new identities, Anthropology, Studies in religion and folklore studies"-- Provided by publisher.
