Mikkel Berg-Nordlie is a Sámi historian. He is a senior researcher at the NIBR Institute for Urban and Regional Research at the Oslo Metropolitan University (NIBR-OsloMet), and is responsible for Sámi history articles in the Great Norwegian Encyclopedia (SNL).

“I am very impressed… The book is well-written, analytically sound and solid, has a really good empirical basis, and presents some lines of argument that are both innovative and interesting. Adding the Russian Sámi context to the bigger field of Sámi studies is really called for, and gives important insights.” • Torjer Olsen, Arctic University of Norway“The book is very interesting, well written and relevant. I found it entirely fascinating and educational, and could see a lot of connections to issues that other urban Indigenous groups across the globe face.” • Kelly Greenop, University of Queensland
