Religionshistoriker Siv Ellen Kraft utforsker i denne boken det å ta tilbake den gamle samiske religionen. Den kobler sammen religion, identitet og nasjonsbygging, og tar på alvor urfolksvendingen så vel som geografiske og generasjonsmessige distinksjoner. Med fokus på den norske siden av Sápmi fra 1970-tallet. Engelsk tekst.

Indigenous religion(s) are afterlives of a particular sort, shaped by globalising 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 Sápmi since the 1970s, this book explores the reclaiming of ancestral pasts and notions of a specifically Sámi 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, Sámi cultural studies and politics, Ethnicity and emergence of new identities, Anthropology, Studies in religion, and folklore studies.
