Book Synopsis
Timely in its focus on educational policies in multiethnic societies, Otso Kortekangas examines how educational policies affected the Sámi people residing in the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The book provides essential information on the relationship between large-scale government policies and indigenous peoples.

Trade Review

“[This book] grapples with conditions across the board in three neighbouring countries, allowing for useful comparative perspectives on their response to difference in education. Well written and easy to digest, the book combines a big-picture account with an in-depth engagement with the positions taken by Sámi teachers, who often inhabited the roles of debaters and activists. [It] will be valuable for the historical understanding of the dynamics that have impacted the peoples indigenous to the Nordic north and beyond.” *University of Toronto Quarterly *
