Marketed as \"essential\" for white occupants of the nineteenth-century Pacific, ice quickly permeated the foodscape through advancements in freezing and refrigeration technologies. In \u003ci\u003eCooling the Tropics\u003c\/i\u003e Hiʻilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart charts the social history of ice in Hawaiʻi to show how the interlinked concepts of freshness and refreshment mark colonial relationships to the tropics. From chilled drinks and sweets to machinery, she shows how ice and refrigeration underpinned settler colonial ideas about race, environment, and the senses. By outlining how ice shaped Hawaiʻi's food system in accordance with racial and environmental imaginaries, Hobart demonstrates that thermal technologies can--and must--be attended to in struggles for food sovereignty and political self-determination in Hawaiʻi and beyond. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Duke University Press Scholars of Color First Book Award Recipient\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHiʻilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart is Assistant Professor of Native and Indigenous Studies at Yale University and editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Foodways of Hawaiʻi: Past and Present\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 16, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44434149277798,"sku":"9781478019190","price":52.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/eFdEYVNMQTRTZGR0Qi9TNFNlN1pxUT09.webp?v=1770432783","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/cooling-the-tropics-ice-indigeneity-and-hawaiian-refreshment-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
