More about the book

The book explores the Faroe Islands' cultural survival since their Viking settlement, tracing their evolution from an unruly republic to a Danish dependency. It highlights the islands' unique journey through economic stagnation and revitalization, emphasizing how they managed social change by redefining their literary and historical identity. The author, an anthropologist, uses diverse sources to paint a vivid picture of Faroese life and governance. The work also compares the Faroes' distinct nationality to that of neighboring regions, making it a significant contribution to Scandinavian and ethnic studies.
