Rise Up is a novel about the inequalities that Greenlanders and Faroese experience in Denmark. It is a tribute to Greenlandic and Danish politicians who attempt to heal fractures and a rebuke to the part of the Danish population that still assists in perpetuating negative stereotypes.

Originally published in Denmark by Byens Forlag, and translated by Kristian Borten, this is Nauja Lynge's second novel addressing the unaccepted cultural differences continuing to plague native northern peoples within the Danish realm.
