The Sami people of Northern Europe and Aboriginal Australians are
literally a world apart in geographical terms, yet share a common
fate as Indigenous minorities emerging from centuries of internal
colonisation. Their ancient cultures and languages severely eroded
by policies of forced assimilation, their traditional lifestyles
and economies damaged, and their political voices marginalised,
recent decades have seen their struggles for collective survival
rise to political prominence in national and international agendas,
with the promise of Indigenous self-determination held out by
national governments and the United Nations Declaration of Rights
for Indigenous Peoples. ... Both the Sami and Indigenous
Australians have won important new rights during these decades, yet
the outcomes are very different. In this volume - the only
collection of essays specifically on the Indigenous peoples of
Australia and Northern Europe - the similarities and differences
between the Indigenous experiences in the Nordic countries and
Australia are explored by renowned experts in the field including
Indigenous authors. Some of the contributions are explicitly
comparative and based on research experience in both areas, and two
essays on New Zealand and Canada provide external points of
reference to the volume's focus on Northern Europe (Norway, Sweden,
Finland, Russia) and Australia. ... As always in Indigenous
Studies, issues of cultural identity and survival are prominent but
there is a special emphasis in many of the chapters on issues of
socio-economic development and political representation, and a
substantial introduction by the editors sketches out a
historical-theoretical framework for understanding Indigenous
struggles in First World countries that is critical of some
currently fashionable approaches.
