Snowblindness - Let's talk about storytelling, colonialism, Netflix, and my greatgrandfather

Published by Onomatopee, the book with ISBN 9789493148796, Idea Code 22709, is authored by Gudrun Havsteen-Mikkelsen. It revolves around the life of Ejnar Mikkelsen (1880–1971), a Danish polar explorer, captain, and colonizer in Kalaallit Nunaat, also known as Greenland. Ejnar Mikkelsen's contributions to the "collective memory and dominant history of Nordic colonialism" serve as the focal point. Designed and edited by Gudrun Havsteen-Mikkelsen, the great-granddaughter of the explorer, in collaboration with designer Anna Bierler, this publication challenges the colonial narratives depicted in the Netflix film 'Against the Ice,' which portrays her grandfather. Through this project, the author advocates for cultural and historical inclusion, aiming to broaden the storytelling scope by incorporating visual and textual contributions, archival materials, dialogues, and controversies. The book spans 296 pages, featuring illustrations in both color and black and white, measuring 17 x 24 cm, and is available in English paperback format.
