Greenland - Jens Heinrich and Bo Lidegaard

What to know

The history of Greenland seen from the Greenlanders' own perspective What does the history of Greenland look like from the perspective of the country and the Greenlanders themselves? This was the question that prompted historians Jens Heinrich and Bo Lidegaard, together with Mira Maria Jo Kleist, to write a new portrayal of the country. It ended with Greenland: A Journey from the Earliest Times to Modern Society, a broad-ranging portrait of society and the people, along the way dealing with skeletons in the closet and stereotypes about Greenlanders in popular culture. The book was praised by reviewers when it was published in 2025, and has only become more relevant since then. It offers the reader essential and insightful knowledge about our fellow citizens at a time when the world around Greenland is changing, and where new perspectives on The past of the Commonwealth comes to light. - Date: 27 October 2026 - Time: 19:00–21:00 - Venue: Stadsbiblioteket i Lyngby - Address: Lyngby Hovedgade 28, Kongens Lyngby, Denmark - Admission: From DKK 65
