Journal of Folklore Research This fundamental book, rich in information, insight, and interpretation, is long overdue...This study is written with respect: it is based on long-term engagement with Sami musicians and music events, learning appropriate languages, and listening carefully to contemporary Sami concerns. Hilder's book is a must for those studying the Sami. It is also insightful reading for those interested in the politics of indigeneity and music. Yearbook for Traditional Music
