With the Lapps Event Schedule around Puget Sound

Today is the official publication day for With the Lapps in the High Mountains by Emilie Demant Hatt, published by the University of Wisconsin Press. I'm thrilled to see this fantastic book finally available to an English-reading audience.

I'm heading off to San Francisco tomorrow for the Scandinavian Studies conference, where I'll present a paper on her: "My Nomad Year": From Tourist to Participant-Observer--Emilie Demant Hatt Among the Sami 1907-8.

Below is the schedule for readings from the book in the Puget Sound area. I'm especially looking forward to the launch May 21 at the Nordic Heritage Museum. If you live nearby, please join me in celebrating With the Lapps!

Hi Thorkil,

That's great you are familiar with joiking and Sapmi.

With the Lapps is Emilie Demant Hatt's own book. Turi's book is available in Danish in Scandinavian libraries. Demant Hatt's book is in some Scandinavian libraries and also online.

You can read more about her and find some links at www.emiliedemanthatt.com

Hope you enjoy both books!
