Part ethnography, part memoir, and part critical reflection on the
Anthropocene, this book examines the ways that islands form and
inform human experiences of the everyday and the extraordinary.
Utilizing carefully considered anthropological perspectives drawn
from over a decade of anthropological fieldwork, the author employs
islands as a complex set of lenses to examine the ways that we are
intimately connected, separated, and divided from ourselves, one
another, and the planet. Moving across time, place and disciplinary
boundaries, this book traces a narrative route from the remote
islands of Micronesia to the subarctic expanses of northern
Iceland, all in service of gaining a deeper understanding of the
cultural resonance of islands. This book offers the reader a type
of ideological travel guide, one that exchanges restaurant reviews
and hotel recommendations for pathways of reflection and new modes
of seeing and being in the world. It will be of interest to
scholars in the social sciences and humanities, and readers from
human geography, cultural studies, sociology, philosophy and
American studies.
