Elin Anna Labba, a Sámi author and journalist born in Kiruna, Sweden, debuted in 2020 with "Herrarna satte oss hit: om tvångsförflyttningarna i Sverige" ("The Gentlemen Put Us Here: About the Forced Relocations in Sweden"). The book, exploring the forced migration of the Sámi from Norway to Sweden, earned her prestigious awards, including the August Prize in 2020 and the Norrland Literature Prize in 2021. Labba, a University of Gothenburg graduate, currently serves as a project manager at the writer's center Tjállegoahte in Jokkmokk, Sweden.
