Kjak undir krígnum
The articles contained in this collection were published under the column “Føroyar í dag” (the Faroes today) in the newspaper Føroya Socialdemokrat in 1943 and 1944. Edited and written by William Heinesen and Heðin Brú.
The collection represents a comprehensive contribution to the discourse regarding Faroese politics and Faroese culture during the Second World War.
The authors of the articles are two clever observers, and their strength lies in their ability to detect the underlying patterns in Faroese culture and especially in the contemporary culture of political dialog, which is subject to one overhaul after the other.
With its many overarching viewpoints regarding Faroese politics, culture, public opinion etc., the material is of likely interest for the public as well as for historians and other scholars.
Bergur Rønne Moberg wrote the preface. The purpose is to portray the articles as an intellectual and politically neutral input in the midst of heavily politicised times.
