Staten och kapitalet: en kritisk diskursanalys av prop. 1988:92 ny minerallag

One of the biggest threats against reindeer herding and Sami culture is the exploitation of natural resources in Sápmi, Sami land (Samiskt informationscentrum a). Mines require large areas of land, where the reindeer usually feed. With a post-colonial approach, I, in this essay analyse the discourses behind the law that regulates mines and mineral extraction. With a critical discourse analysis of a government bill (proposition 1988:92) with post-colonial and Marxist theories, I show that discourses of profit succeed over discourses representing Sami interests
