Marketed as \u201cessential\u201d for white occupants of the nineteenth-century Pacific, ice quickly permeated the foodscape through advancements in freezing and refrigeration technologies. In&nbsp;<em>Cooling the Tropics<\/em>&nbsp;Hi\u02bbilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart charts the social history of ice in Hawai\u02bbi 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 Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s food system in accordance with racial and environmental imaginaries, Hobart demonstrates that thermal technologies can\u2014and must\u2014be attended to in struggles for food sovereignty and political self-determination in Hawai\u02bbi and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi\u2032ilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart, Assistant Professor of Native and Indigenous Studies at Yale University\u00a0(USA), discussed Cooling the Tropics: Ice, Indigeneity, and Hawaiian Refreshment (Duke University [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2110,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-booktalk"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Hobart_cover.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2108"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2152,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2108\/revisions\/2152"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newnatures.org\/greenhouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
