The Smi Peoples of the North: A Social and Cultural History,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
There is no single volume that encompasses an integrated social and cultural history of the Smi people from the Nordic countries and northwestern Russia. Neil Kent's book fills this lacuna. In the first instance, he considers how the Smi homeland is defined: its geography, climate, and early contact with other peoples. He then moves on to its early chronicles and the onset of colonisation, which changed Smi life profoundly over the last millennium. Thereafter, the nature of Smi ethnicity is examined, in the context of the peoples among whom the Smi increasingly lived, as well as the growing intrusions of the states who claimed sovereignty over them. The Soviet gulag, the Lapland War and increasing urbanisation all impacted upon Smi life. Religion, too, played an important role from prehistoric times, with their pantheon of gods and sacred sites, to their Christianisation. In the late twentieth century there has been an increasing symbiosis of ancient Smi spiritual practice with Christianity. Recently the intrusions of the logging and nuclear industries, as well as tourism have come to redefine Smi society and culture. Even the meaning of who exactly is a Smi is scrutinised, at a time when some intermarry and yet return to Smi, where their children maintain their Smi identity.
