People, Places, and Practices in the Arctic
This collection follows anthropological perspectives on peoples (Canadian Inuit, Norwegian Sámi, Yupiit from Alaska, and Inuit from Greenland), places, and practices in the Circumpolar North from colonial times to our post-modern era. This volume brings together fresh perspectives on theoretical concepts, colonial/imperial descriptions, collaborative work of non-Indigenous and Indigenous researchers, as well as articles written by representatives of Indigenous cultures from an inside perspective. The scope of the book ranges from contributions based on unpublished primary sources, missionary journals, and fairly unknown early Indigenous sources and publications, to those based on more recen...
Reclaiming Participatory Governance
Reclaiming Participatory Governance offers empirical and theoretical perspectives on how the relationship between social movements and state institutions is emerging and developing through new modes of participatory governance. One of the most interesting political developments of the past decade has been the adoption by social movements of strategies seeking to change political institutions through participatory governance. These strategies have flourished in a variety of contexts, from anti-austerity and pro-social justice protests in Spain, to movements demanding climate transition and race equality in the UK and the USA, to constitutional reforms in Belgium and Iceland. The chief ambitio...
I dag begynder rejsen
Opfyldt af eventyrlyst forlader forfatteren sit gennemregulerede fædreland for sammen med sin kone og to små piger at bosætte sig i den lille sydgrønlandske by Qaqortoq. Her, og senere også i Sisimiut på polarcirklen, møder familien en fremmedartet kultur hvor alt er mere enkelt og personligt, og både voksne og børn får eventyrlige oplevelser med kajakroning, jagt, fiskeri, hundeslædekørsel og skiløb i den storslåede natur. Samtidig gennemløber det grønlandske samfund en udvikling fra hjemmestyre til selvstyre. Hvordan er det så at leve som dansker i Kalaallit Nunaat i en tid hvor de førhen koloniserede drømmer om frigørelse fra Danmark? Dette spørgsmål giver bogen et personligt svar på gennem billeder og beretninger fra fjorten års arbejds- og familieliv i Grønland, et moderne nordboliv som gives historisk perspektiv gennem en kajakfærd til Nanortalik i nordboernes og de gamle kajakfangeres kølvand. Afslutningsvis gives der inspiration til en kortere ferierejse i Nordgrønland.

Colonialism in Greenland
This book explores how the Danish authorities governed the colonized population in Greenland in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Two competing narratives of colonialism dominate in Greenland as well as Denmark. One narrative portrays the Danish colonial project as ruthless and brutal extraction of a vulnerable indigenousness people; the other narrative emphasizes almost exclusively the benevolent aspects of Danish rule in Greenland. Rather than siding with one of these narratives, this book investigates actual practices of colonial governance in Greenland with an outlook to the extensive international scholarship on colonialism and post-colonialism. The chapters address the intimate connections between the establishment of an ethnographic discourse and the colonial techniques of governance in Greenland. Thereby the book provides important nuances to the understanding of the historical relationship between Denmark and Greenland and links this historical trajectory to the present negotiations of Greenlandic identity.
