This book offers a diverse and groundbreaking account of the
intersections between modernities and environments in the circumpolar
global North, foregrounding the Arctic as a critical space of
modernity, where the past, present, and future of the planet’s
environmental and political systems are projected and imagined.
Investigating the Arctic region as a privileged site of modernity,
this book articulates the globally significant, but often overlooked,
junctures between environmentalism and sustainability, indigenous
epistemologies and scientific rhetoric, and decolonization strategies
and governmentality. With international expertise made easily
accessible, readers can observe and understand the rise and conflicted
status of Arctic modernities, from the nineteenth century polar
explorer era to the present day of anthropogenic climate change.
