Do Glaciers Listen?

Local Knowledge, Colonial Encounters, and Social Imagination

Beschreibung

Focusing on these contrasting views of glaciers between Aboriginal peoples and European visitors in northern Canada and Alaska, Julie Cruikshank demonstrates how local knowledge is produced, rather than discovered, through colonial encounters, and how it often conjoins social and biophysical processes.
