More Uses of History

We have looked at a UR documentary called "Stölden av Sápmi." We focused on the material from 16' to 35'. Different issues discussed included
- natural resources used for economic gain -- without compensation to the Sami
- the exploitation of the Sami
- the Race Biology Institute
- the segregation of the Sami

The film can be found here:



And we have also read a BBC History article on the Sami: "Frozen Out in Scandinavia."


And we have also looked at the use of Swedish history in travel books for Sweden/Scandinavia.

I'll upload the BBC article + the travel books on Vklass.
