Description
Summary:This article examines how work plays a major role in Danish literature about Greenland – often with the workplace as a zone of conflict. At first, a short history of Danish litera- ture about Greenland is presented followed by an analysis of Jørgen Liljensøe’s novel Barakkerne (1977).
