"Part ethnography, part memoir, and part critical reflection on the Anthropocene,
this book examines the ways that islands form and inform human experiences of the
everyday and the extraordinary. Utilizing carefully considered anthropological perspectives
drawn from over a decade of anthropological fieldwork, the author employs islands
as a complex set of lenses to examine the ways that we are intimately connected, separated,
and divided from ourselves, one another, and the planet. Moving across time, place
and disciplinary boundaries, this book traces a narrative route from the remote islands
of Micronesia to the subarctic expanses of northern Iceland, all in service of gaining
a deeper understanding of the cultural resonance of islands. This book offers the
reader a type of ideological travel guide, one that exchanges restaurant reviews and
hotel recommendations for pathways of reflection and new modes of seeing and being
in the world. It will be of interest to scholars in the social sciences and humanities,
and readers from human geography, cultural studies, sociology, philosophy and American
studies"
