Zusatztext

The Return of the Sun builds a compelling case for an understanding of Inuit suicide as symbol of social suffering and function of the undeniable impacts of colonialism. The work provides fresh insights into the critical importance of contemporary efforts reclaiming Inuit self-determination and culture, and crucial advocacy for locally controlled, strengths-based cultural approaches for prevention of Inuit suicide.
