A rich and revelatory memoir of a young woman reclaiming her courage in the stark landscapes of the north.
By the time Blair Braverman was eighteen, she had left her home in California, moved to arctic Norway to learn to drive sled dogs, and found work as a tour guide on a glacier in Alaska. Determined to carve out a life as a "tough girl"--a young woman who confronts danger without apology--she slowly developed the strength and resilience the landscape demanded of her.
By turns funny and sobering, bold and tender, Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube brilliantly recounts Braverman's adventures in Norway and Alaska. Settling into her new surroundings, Braverman was often terrified that she would lose control of her dog team and crash her sled, or be attacked by a polar bear, or get lost on the tundra. Above all, she worried that, unlike the other, gutsier people alongside her, she wasn't cut out for life on the frontier. But no matter how out of place she felt, one thing was clear: she was hooked on the North. On the brink of adulthood, Braverman was determined to prove that her fears did not define her--and so she resolved to embrace the wilderness and make it her own.
Assured, honest, and lyrical, Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube paints a powerful portrait of self-reliance in the face of extraordinary circumstance. Braverman endures physical exhaustion, survives being buried alive in an ice cave, and drives her dogs through a whiteout blizzard to escape crooked police. Through it all, she grapples with love and violence--navigating a grievous relationship with a fellow musher, and adapting to the expectations of her Norwegian neighbors--as she negotiates the complex demands of being a young woman in a man's land.
Weaving fast-paced adventure writing and ethnographic journalism with elegantly wrought reflections on identity, Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube captures the triumphs and the perils of Braverman's journey to self-discovery and independence in a landscape that is as beautiful as it is unforgiving.
--Luis Alberto Urrea, author of The Devil's Highway

Описание: The ocean and its inhabitants sketch and stretch our understandings of law in unexpected ways. Inspired by the blue turn in the social sciences and humanities, Blue Legalities explores how regulatory frameworks and governmental infrastructures are made, reworked, and contested in the oceans. Its interdisciplinary contributors analyze topics that range from militarization and Maori cosmologies to island building in the South China Sea and underwater robotics. Throughout, Blue Legalities illuminates the vast and unusual challenges associated with regulating the turbulent materialities and lives of the sea. Offering much more than an analysis of legal frameworks, the chapters in this volume show how the more-than-human ocean is central to the construction of terrestrial institutions and modes of governance. By thinking with the more-than-human ocean, Blue Legalities questions what we think we know—and what we don’t know—about oceans, our earthly planet, and ourselves.

Описание: "The Expanding Spaces of Law" presents readers with the cutting edge scholarship on legal geography and pushes the current boundaries of the field, investigating new questions and reinvigorating previous modes of inquiry. Legal geography has contributed a great deal to understanding the many relationships between space and law. Earlier work has explored space that is static, such as the law's interaction with concepts of the home, public space, prison, restrooms, camps, territories, and nation states. But the past few years have seen an emphasis on analyzing the dynamic workings of space, and the understanding of space in various new ways. "The Expanding Spaces of Law" asks readers to consider what legal geography would look like if were we to give more prominence to conceptions of space as process, space as event, or space as situation or relationship. Questions of space and time are often implicit in the work of legal geographers, and this book seeks to bring these questions to the fore. Likewise, there are aspects of the connections between space, power and law that are investigated in tandem with motion, mobility, and immobilization, the effects of novel spatio-temporal technologies, and the dynamics of relational space. "The Expanding Spaces of Law" brings together some of the most prominent names in the field, and includes new voices in the field from around the world to introduce provocative and exciting research in legal geography.
Описание: After a successful career as an economist, attorney, real estate investor, and high school teacher, Stanton Braverman moves to Charlottesville as a part of his retirement plan. Up until then, everything went his way. But in Charlottesville, things went wrong. It did not make sense. Why did the city not care about the redevelopment of the Belmont neighborhood? While it was on the wrong side of the railroad tracks that ran through the town and home to many of the urban poor, it had a lot going for itself at a time when most cities were developing neglected neighborhoods. But Charlottesville was not interested in this development and was active in trying to curb any turnaround. For the author, this was crazy. Braverman fought with the city council about their neglect of the community. At the same time, the urban renewal movement caught on in Belmont-houses were remodeled and real estate values increased at startling rates. The area became charming, and tourists wanted to be there. And yet the council did not care. They were being obstructionists. They continuously misled the community about condemned bridges that resulted in a fight over the rezoning of a residential area and a court fight over a fresh water dam worth thirty-one million dollars that was not needed. In the story, Braverman tries to figure out why his house and his neighborhood are ground zero for such a battle with the council. He shows how the council's inability to connect with the community led to the violent riots over the removal of the statute of Robert E. Lee. Moreover, he concludes that when the council fully understands what was happening, then the war between the council and the neighborhood will end peacefully.
