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.
