This paper examines Greenlandic Inuit identity in relation to the Danish national imaginary by critically reading Peter H⊘eg’s Miss Smilla’s Feeling for Snow (1997 H⊘eg, Peter. 1997. Miss Smilla’s Feeling for Snow, Edited by: David, F. London: Harvill. [Google Scholar]). We argue that H⊘eg’s positioning of a postcolonial Inuit migrant in the metropolitan centre enables, albeit limitedly, a critique both of Danish imperialism and narrative constructions of Danish national identity
