There is no single volume that encompasses an integrated social and cultural history of the SA!mi people from the Nordic countries and northwestern Russia. Neil Kent's book fills this lacuna. In the first instance, he considers how the SA!mi homeland is defined: its geography, climate, and early contact with other peoples. He then moves on to its early chronicles and the onset of colonisation, which changed SA!mi life profoundly over the last millennium. Thereafter, the nature of SA!mi ethnicity is examined, in the context of the peoples among whom the SA!mi increasingly lived, as well as the growing intrusions of the states who claimed sovereignty over them. The Soviet gulag, the Lapland War and increasing urbanisation all impacted upon SA!mi life. Religion, too, played an important role from pre-historic times, with their pantheon of gods and sacred sites, to their Christianisation. In the late twentieth century there has been an increasing symbiosis of ancient SA!mi spiritual practice with Christianity. Recently the intrusions of the logging and nuclear industries, as well as tourism have come to redefine SA!mi society and culture. Even the meaning of who exactly is a SA!mi is scrutinised, at a time when some intermarry and yet return to SA!mi, where their children maintain their SA!mi identity.
