Under the Great Ice. Climate, Society and Subsurface Politics in Greenland
Under the Great Ice. Climate, Society and Subsurface Politics in Greenland
This book by REXSAC researcher Mark Nuttall takes the reader on a journey through landscapes, seascapes and icescapes of memory, movement and anticipation, and unravels the entanglements of climate change, indigenous sovereignty and the anticipatory politics of nonrenewable resource extraction. It draws on long-term and extensive anthropological research in Greenland with hunters and fishers, climate scientists, geologists, mining engineers, environmental consultants, and oil and mining company executives to describe how the country is on the verge of major environmental, political and social transformations as it aspires to greater autonomy and possible independence from Denmark.
