Discussing crucial issues such as the formation of Sámi ethnicity, interaction with chieftain and state societies, and the transition from hunting to reindeer herding, the book departs from the common trope whereby native encounters with other cultures, state societies, and \"modernity\", are depicted mainly in negative terms. Far from always victimizing \"the other\", the interaction with outside societies played a crucial role in generating and maintaining a number of features considered integral to Sámi culture. At the same time the authors also emphasize internal processes and dynamics and show how these have greatly contributed to the diverse historical trajectories with which this book is concerned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eListed by \u003ci\u003eChoice magazine\u003c\/i\u003e as one of the Outstanding Academic Titles of 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Ivar Hansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004252541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004252547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2014","brand":"Lars Ivar Hansen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47520656949503,"sku":"9789004252547","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34ca4a52-2a02-4c66-911b-c5c1098c5457.jpg?v=1762886381","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hunters-in-transition-lars-ivar-hansen-9789004252547","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
