“Sámi Educational History in a Comparative International Perspective” establishes an overview of Sámi education in an historical and internationally comparative perspective and examines indigenous educational history around the world, ranging from Asia to Oceania to Sápmi and the Americas.

New book provides a comprehensive overview of Sámi
education in a historical and internationally comparative perspective. Despite the
cross-national character of the Sámi population, academic literature on Sámi
education has so far been published within the different nation states in the Sámi
area, and rarely in English. Exploring indigenous educational history around the
world, this collection spans from Asia to Oceania to Sápmi and the Americas. The
chapters frame Sámi school history within an international context of indigenous and
minority education. In doing so, two narrative threads are established: both
traditional history of education, and perspectives on the decolonisation of
education. This pioneering book will appeal to students and scholars of Sámi
education, as well as indigenous education around the world.
