Opportunity or Vulnerability?
Overview
This book explores whether the Arctic serves as a true panacea for immigrants, offering opportunity and renewal, or if it reveals deep vulnerabilities, including isolation, harsh conditions, and exploitation. By examining the intersection of migration, socio-economic development, and climate change, the book uncovers the forces shaping immigrant lives and their role in the Arctic's evolving future.
