In 1904 a young Danish woman met a Sami wolf hunter on a train in
Sweden. This chance encounter transformed the lives of artist
Emilie Demant and the hunter, Johan Turi. In 1907 8 Demant went to
live with Sami families in their tents and on migrations, later
writing a lively account of her experiences. She collaborated with
Turi on his book about his people. On her own and later with her
husband Gudmund Hatt, she roamed on foot through Sami regions as an
ethnographer and folklorist. As an artist, she created many
striking paintings with Sami motifs. Her exceptional life and
relationships come alive in this first English-language biography.
In recounting Demant Hatt's fascinating life, Barbara Sjoholm
investigates the boundaries and influences between ethnographers
and sources, the nature of authorship and visual representation,
and the state of anthropology, racial biology, and politics in
Scandinavia during the first half of the twentieth century.
