| Abstract: | This text is based on conversations with Thomas Hylland Eriksen about the areas we today call Sápmi: the land of Sámi peoples and Indigenous lands. It is inspired by a short chapter Thomas Eriksen wrote in 2018, about Sápmi and paradoxes of autonomy. Here, I offer an account of his understanding of the paradox of autonomy. Next, I discuss this position in relation to other understandings of ethnicity and identity politics in Sápmi. |
