Sota meissä – Sodan kokemushistoriaa Lapissa (War Within Us: Experienced Histories of War in Lapland) is a multidisciplinary edited volume that examines lived experiences, memories, and cultural legacies of the Second World War and its aftermath in Lapland. Focusing on everyday life, the book explores how war was felt, endured, and remembered, and how its effects have continued across generations. The volume addresses the wartime history of multilingual and multicultural Lapland, bringing forward experiences that have remained marginal in national narratives. Its chapters examine evacuation and displacement, cross-border mobility, the experiences of Sámi and Kven communities, the destruction of Lapland, and the challenges of post-war reconstruction. Special attention is given to children’s and women’s wartime lives, to evacuation as a prolonged or lifelong experience, and to the transmission of memory through narratives, silences, atmospheres, and embodied knowledge. The significance of animals, nature, and place in coping and survival is also highlighted. Drawing on diverse sources–including archival materials, oral histories, literature, and art–the volume situates Lapland’s experiences within broader Nordic and European histories of war and refugeedom. Methodologically innovative and reflexive, the book challenges established interpretations of Finnish war history and demonstrates how war continues in memories, landscapes, and intergenerational relations long after the battles have ended.
