This Thursday CitiGen PI Gísli Pálsson presented a talk at the Vestindiske Kulturambassade, Copenhagen, on his recent book on the life of Hans Jonathan – a man born into slavery in the Danish West Indies, and who eventually claimed his freedom in Iceland.
The Man Who Stole Himself was released in September 2016 by the University of Chicago Press. A Danish-language version of the book (based on the original Icelandic text, Hans Jónatan, maðurinn sem stal sjálfum sér) is due to appear next year.
