Description
Cooling the Tropics: Ice, Indigeneity, and Hawaiian Refreshment
Hiʻilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart explores how ice and refrigeration technologies shaped Hawaiʻi's food system in accordance with racial and environmental imaginaries.
This book examines the social history of ice in Hawaiʻi, revealing how it underpinned settler colonial ideas about race, environment, and the senses, and demonstrating that thermal technologies can-and must-be attended to in struggles for food sovereignty and political self-determination.
