Over dit e-boek

Ice Rivers Fish explores how modern technology transformed ancient traditions among the Yupik people of Alaska, focusing on the intricate relationship between technological adaptation, fishing, and cultural identity.
The book delves into how the introduction of modern fishing gear, like nylon nets and outboard motors, altered traditional practices and impacted trade networks in the Arctic.
It also considers the environmental impact of these changes, examining how resource extraction shifted and affected traditional ecological knowledge.

The book uniquely emphasizes the Yupik's active role in selectively adopting and adapting modern tools to fit their existing cultural values and economic needs, rather than portraying them as passive recipients of external influences.
It highlights how, historically, subsistence hunting and fishing were central to the Yupik economy, with complex resource management systems, and how modern gear disrupted these systems, leading to shifts in labor, wealth, and social structures.

The book progresses from establishing the cultural background and pre-modern techniques to analyzing the impact of specific technologies on fishing yields and socioeconomic implications.
