Like an iceberg: Confessions of an Arctic Journalist - Paperback

Interested in the Arctic? Here you can witness avalanches, an exorcism, return-of-the-sun celebrations: "Like an iceberg: confessions of an Arctic journalist" reveals what Jane George saw in the Arctic as one of the few journalists who travelled widely in the circumpolar region in the 1990s. At that time, Inuit society faced hard challenges, many stemming from colonisation and the enduring trauma of residential schools, which would not be fully appreciated outside the North for 30 years. The impact of global warming on the Arctic was just starting. The book talks about Indigenous peoples and events that otherwise would be forgotten through a journalist's observant eyes, and provides some insights into a society under stress.

Jane George is an award-winning Canadian journalist and broadcaster, with more than 30 years of reporting on Arctic issues across Canada's North and the circumpolar world. She now lives in southern Quebec.
