Opis

In this book, author Helene Thiesen recounts her experience of being forcibly removed from her family in Greenland as a young Inuk child, to be ‘re-educated’ in Denmark and an orphanage in Greenland. With an introductory analysis from Stephen James Minton, the account serves as a powerful testimony of a devastating colonial experiment.
