Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of S√°mi education in a historical and internationally comparative perspective. Despite the cross-national character of the S√°mi population, academic literature on S√°mi education has so far been published within the different nation states in the S√°mi area, and rarely in English. Exploring indigenous educational history around the world, this collection spans from Asia to Oceania to S√°pmi and the Americas. The chapters frame S√°mi 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 S√°mi education, as well as indigenous education around the world.
