Book

Hunting the northern character

Penikett, Antony, 1945- author

Overview

\"World leaders often invoke \"the northern character,\" but what do they mean, exactly? Stereotypes abound, from Duddly Do-Right to Northern Exposure, but these southern perspectives fail to capture northern realities. During decades of service as a legislator, mediator, and negotiator, Tony Penikett witnessed a new northern consciousness grow out of the challenges of the Cold War, climate change, land rights struggles, and the boom and bust of resource megaprojects. His lively account of clashes and accommodations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders not only retraces the footsteps of his hunt for a northern identity but tells the story of an Arctic that the world does not yet know.\"-- Provided by publisher.
