Focusing on the Sápmi region of Northern Europe as a point of
departure, this book enriches and sharpens the concept of 'the North.'
It combines detailed empirical research on the Sámi people and their
life-worlds with theoretical contributions from leading scholars. The
authors consider the European North not only as a geographical site or
an object of academic research, but as a particular way of knowing and
being, with its own needs, practices, concepts, and imaginings. The
North, as an epistemic position, offers its own conceptions of
politics, human agency, history, and social relations, which this book
studies and describes. The volume challenges us to consider social
scientific knowledge, its significance, and the practices of producing
it in a new way.
