The Sámi World
This book provides a comprehensive and multifaceted analysis of the Sámi society and its histories and people, offering valuable insights into how they live and see the world. The chapters examine a variety of social and cultural practices, and consideration is given to environment, legal and political conditions and power relations. The contributions by a range of experts of Sámi studies and Indigenous scholars are drawn from across the Sápmi region, which spans from central Norway and central Sweden across Finnish Lapland to the Kola Peninsula in Russia. Sámi perspectives, concepts and ways of knowing are foregrounded throughout the volume. The material connects with wider discussions within Indigenous studies and engages with current concerns relating to globalization, environmental and cultural change, Arctic politics, multiculturalism, postcolonialism and neoliberalism. The Sámi World will be of interest to scholars from a number of disciplines, including Indigenous studies, anthropology, sociology, geography, history and political science.
Poket
Poket on haastattelukirja suomalaisten ovimiesten maailmasta. Kaksikymmentä armoitettua tarinaniskijää kertoo kokemuksistaan sieltä, missä meikäläinen alkoholipolitiikka muuttuu kansallisen karuksi juomakulttuuriksi. Joskus on hengenlähtö lähellä tai painiottelu edessä, mutta usein uhkaavatkin tilanteet laukeavat, kun nopeaälyiset lihaskimput puhuvat asiakkaansa pyörryksiin. Tarinoitaan kertovat muun muassa Auvo Niinikedon, Boogie Mustosen ja Kari Aittomäen kaltaiset pitkän linjan ammattilaiset. Teoksen kuvista vastaa Henrik Schütt.

The national languages dominate the life of most inhabitants, while the use of indigenous Saami languages, old minority languages, and the languages of new immigrants is limited to certain areas or domains. This volume takes a close look at multilingual individuals and discusses how their lives are affected by different languages.
