Book Description
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.

Book Description
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.
