Imagining Independence - Greenland's Postcolonial Politics of Comparison

Tiny population. Huge territory. Extreme conditions. It is far from obvious where to
find inspiration when Greenland aims for independence. Hence, a wide variety of im- and explicit comparisons in political debate, public policy, and scholarly analysis shape how Greenland imagines independence. This project shows how application, rejection and forgetting of categories for comparison closes off some futures, making others selfevident.
