Its insights are as rigorous, engrossing, and important as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDo Glaciers Listen? \u003c\/em\u003eexamines conflicting understandings of glaciers in the Saint Elias Mountains, a rugged area where Alaska, British Columbia, and the Yukon Territory meet. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, significant geophysical change coincided with social upheaval from a growing European colonial presence and increased trade among Indigenous Peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe European visitors saw glaciers as inanimate and subject to empirical investigation. However, Indigenous oral histories described glaciers as sentient, responding to human behaviour and shaping the physical and cultural environments through which they move.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough these contrasts, Cruikshank demonstrates how local knowledge is produced, rather than discovered, through colonial encounters, and how it often conjoins social and biophysical processes. The result is an interdisciplinary tour de force filled with insight about our relationship to the world around us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499209171317,"sku":"9780774874090","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/do-glaciers-listen-20th-anniversary-edition","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
