From the Publisher:
Eguiguren writes with great clarity just how power-driven, purposeful extremists can titillate, then subvert and take over a gullible, unsuspecting and thus vulnerable people. What occurs in "New Greenland" may seem to be unimaginable only to those who have yet to see the true face of extremism or who have yet to be exposed to the government's agents of over-zealous regulation. --JFL
Review:
New Greenland is one of a new breed of fiction: environmental politics. -- Midwest Book Review
It's not likely to make you feel very positive about our future, but it will certainly make you consider all the alternatives. -- Ed's Internet Book Review
New Greenland is one of a new breed of fiction: environmental politics. A radical environmental state is taking shape in South America. Damian Bayer doesn't believe the evidence, but sees it as an opportunity to get away from the office. Boredom has killed most of his enthusiasm for the job he holds at IRATE, the Washington based human rights firm. Asked to investigate alleged abuses in the strongest democracy in South America, Bayer soon finds himself at the center of an environmental revolution. New Greenland closes its doors to the outside world and begins a complete "naturalization" of its cities. A dream come true for radical environmentalists. A world where human rights are "phased out", replaced with a new respect for nature. New Greenland presents a disturbing tale of what the near future might bring: societies polarized over the exploitation of natural resources, and green activists forced to seize power to prevent further destruction. More than most, New Greenland is a tale for our times, deftly written and persuasively presented. -- Midwest Book Review
