The colonial status of Greenland came to an end following the modification of the Danish Constitution in 1953. In 2005, the Danish government obliged the wish of the Greenlandic Home Rule to commission a historical report detailing the changed status of Greenland within the realm. The report is a significant contribution to the ongoing debates concerning important developments in Danish-Greenlandic relations in the post-war period and provides the most comprehensive account to date of the decolonization of Greenland’s status in the years 1945-1954. This book constitutes an important attempt to untangle the many circumstances impinging on the phasing out of Greenland’s colonial status.
