Description
The Rocks Will Echo Our Sorrow: The Forced Displacement of the Northern Sámi The forced displacement of the Sámi people from their homeland in northern Norway and Sweden has left a lasting impact, one that is still felt today. In the early twentieth century, the Sámi were forcibly removed from their homes, a hundred years ago, in a move that would change the course of their lives forever. Elin Anna Labba's ancestors were among those who were forced to leave, and their story is one of loss, displacement, and resilience. Labba's personal connection to this history is deeply felt, and she shares it with us in a remarkable blend of historical reportage, memoir, and lyrical reimagining. Through her journey to the lost homeland of her ancestors, she sheds light on a pivotal moment in the history of the Northern Sámi and their place in the world. The result is a powerful and poignant exploration of the human experience, one that will resonate with readers today. With a unique blend of history, poetry, and images, Labba's story is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.
