Abstract	"Ice Geographies explores the multivalent qualities of Arctic ice within the North American cultural imaginary. The liminal nature of ice-a substance which cannot easily be classified as land or water, living or nonliving, imaginary or material-led it to be enlisted in myriad colonial projects. During the Enlightenment, ice served as an index of Indigenous people's inferiority. Arctic landscapes were represented as an uninhabitable no man's land compared to temperate European climates. In the contemporary moment, ice indexes a disappearing world from which Indigenous peoples are surreptitiously erased because of their cultural and geographic proximity to ice. Weaving together historical and contemporary archives dealing with ice's scientific and literary significance to the colonial imaginary, Jen Rose Smith shows simultaneously how ice has been central to how we understand the planet and that ice exceeds any colonial, racializing projects imposed onto it"-- Provided by publisher.
