"From the beginning of Inuit writing until today, a substantial amount of texts, including journalistic writings, were printed and have circulated in periodicals, magazines and newspapers of which, until now, neither the number, the extent, nor wealth were known. These periodicals are mostly little known to the public, even in Inuit communities - in this context, it also goes without saying that they have rarely been studied or put into a historical perspective. That is why the field work carried out here by Sharon Rankin opens a rich and unique cultural research field" (Daniel Chartier, Foreword).
