Sámi Media and Indigenous Agency in the Arctic North

"[M]asterful and uplifting study... Highly recommended for indigenous scholarsand activists, as well as students of modern social media."—Choice

"Cocq and DuBois offer an artist-centered account of Sámi agency within Sámi media products—countering implicitly the many stereotypes of the newness of Indigenous media use and activist traditions. The work is of value for both crafting a Sámi activist counter-history that "talks back" to the empire through its own media platforms, and in its close readings of numerous multimedia art works of prominent Sámi artists."—Journal of American Folklore

"[M]arks the arrival of Sámi -specific studies in new media and communication."—Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice

"DuBois and Cocq provide a comprehensive study of Sámi expressive media, utilizing a fresh approach that should attract students of other Indigenous cultures as well as global popular culture."—Pamela Wilson, professor of Communication and Media Studies, Reinhardt University

"One of the most insightful, carefully constructed, and useful books on Indigenous political and socio-cultural affairs, which should find a broad and diverse audience."—Kenneth S. Coates, Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, University of Saskatchewan

"A wonderful book that shows how current Sámi media activism and innovation emerge from a rich history of savvy self-representation."—Troy Storfjell (Sámi), Director, Native American and Indigenous Studies Program, Pacific Lutheran University
