{"product_id":"do-you-see-ice-karen-routledge-9780226580135","title":"Do You See Ice?: Inuit and Americans at Home and Away","description":"Many Americans imagine the Arctic as harsh, freezing, and nearly uninhabitable. The living Arctic, however--the one experienced by native Inuit and others who work and travel there--is a diverse region shaped by much more than stereotype and mythology. \u003ci\u003eDo You See Ice?\u003c\/i\u003e presents a history of Arctic encounters from 1850 to 1920 based on Inuit and American accounts, revealing how people made sense of new or changing environments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Routledge vividly depicts the experiences of American whalers and explorers in Inuit homelands. Conversely, she relates stories of Inuit who traveled to the northeastern United States and were similarly challenged by the norms, practices, and weather they found there. Standing apart from earlier books of Arctic cultural research--which tend to focus on either Western expeditions or Inuit life--\u003ci\u003eDo You See Ice?\u003c\/i\u003e explores relationships between these two groups in a range of northern and temperate locations. Based on archival research and conversations with Inuit Elders and experts, Routledge's book is grounded by ideas of home: how Inuit and Americans often experienced each other's countries as dangerous and inhospitable, how they tried to feel at home in unfamiliar places, and why these feelings and experiences continue to resonate today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe author intends to donate all royalties from this book to the Elders' Room at the Angmarlik Center in Pangnirtung, Nunavut.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022658013X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226580135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2019","brand":"Karen Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43913440166143,"sku":"9780226580135","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_eef5df3b-5aad-43a6-8f3e-7b34e0a0e2e0.jpg?v=1680620414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/do-you-see-ice-karen-routledge-9780226580135","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
