Synopsis Greenland, Vol. 3 by : Martin Vahl
Excerpt from Greenland, Vol. 3: The Colonization of Greenland and Its History Until 1929 Of the 149 million kmz, which constitute the land surface of the earth, hardly more than two fifths are suitable for a white population. The climate of the tropics and the adjoining parts of the subtropics is far too hot for European labour to assert itself, and in the case of more than two fifths of the land surface of the earth an effective exploitation by means of white labour is prevented by the excessive heat. Unfortunately it is in these very parts that nature offers the richest possibilities for cultivation, but the exploitation of these natural resources will probably always be dependent upon the labour of non-european races. Round the Poles we have the arctic and the antarctic countries, constituting in all a little less than one fifth of the land surface of the earth; here the means of existence are generally very poor. Thus it is within the temperate and adjoining subtropical zones that Nature herself offers the best conditions of life for European colonists. But the European races are not the only ones to exploit these areas. The tem perate and subtropical countries of the extra-european continents had already, for thousands of years, provided subsistence for other races, before Europeans found their way across the seas.

Synopsis Climate, Society and Subsurface Politics in Greenland by : Mark Nuttall
Once imagined as a place on the very edge of the world, Greenland is now viewed as being at the epicentre of climate change. At the same time, international attention is focused on opportunities for oil and mineral development, seemingly made possible as the inland ice melts and sea ice disappears, revealing geological riches and making access to remote areas easier. In this book, Mark Nuttall takes the reader on a journey through landscapes, seascapes and icescapes of memory, movement and anticipation. Unravelling the entanglements of climate change, indigenous sovereignty and the politics surrounding non-renewable resource extraction, he describes 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. At the heart of this is discussion about how resources and the environment are given meaning and how they have become subject to intense political and ideological struggle. Climate, Society and Subsurface Politics in Greenland: Under the Great Ice is a key resource for academics, practitioners and students of anthropology, geography, development studies, political ecology and polar studies.

Synopsis The Linguistic Heritage of Colonial Practice by : Brigitte Weber
The contributions of this volume offer both a diachronic and synchronic approach to aspects relating to different areas of colonial life as for example colonial place-naming in a comparative perspective. They comprise topics of diverse interests within the field of language and colonialism and represent the linguistic fields of sociolinguistics, onomastics, historical linguistics, language contact, obsolescence convergence and divergence, (colonial) discourse, lexicography and creolistics.

Synopsis Acts of Occupation by : Janice Cavell
As climate change threatens to open the Northwest Passage to ice-free travel, Canadian sovereignty over the Arctic has come to the fore. Although Canada’s claim to the Arctic archipelago is now firmly entrenched in the minds of Canadians, less than a century ago, that claim was much less secure. Acts of Occupation draws on a wealth of previously untapped archival sources to piece together the engrossing story of how one explorer’s self-serving ambition ultimately led Canada to craft and defend a decisive Arctic policy. Historians Cavell and Noakes show how unfounded paranoia about Danish designs on the north, fueled by a deliberate campaign of deceit and fear-mongering, was the catalyst for Canada’s active administrative occupation of the Arctic. A compelling tale, Acts of Occupation throws new light on a transformative period in the history of Canadian Arctic policy and provides much-needed historical context for contemporary debates on northern sovereignty.
