S5E3 | Does Trump Help Greenlanders Play World Powers Against Each other?


Listen Later

Greenland, Denmark & America - a triangular relation that, per my guest, augurs benefits for Greenlanders.

If that's the case, then...

►What do Greenlanders think of Mr. Trump's ideas for their island?

►What do Greenland's indigenous peoples & environmentalists think of America?

►Why did Denmark change Greenland's status from colony to province?

►Can Greenland survive economically as an independent nation?

►What is it like to live in Greenland?

►How do Greenlanders travel in Greenland?

►Who are Greenlanders anyway?


🚩About My Guest:

My guest is Prof. Ebbe Volquardsen, an Associate Professor of Cultural History, and the former Chair of the Department of Social and Cultural History at the University of Greenland in Nuuk. He has a diverse academic background in cultural anthropology, Scandinavian studies, and political science.

Greenland: Literature and Cultural Production⁠

Latest article by Prof. Volquardsen.
