Colonialism and Antarctica : Attitudes, Logics, and Practices Paperback / softback

Edited by Peder Roberts, Alejandra Mancilla

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

This book explores how the concept of colonialism can help to understand the past and present of Antarctica, and how Antarctica may illuminate the limits of colonialism as an analytic concept.

Despite lacking an indigenous population, the continent has been shaped by many of the same political and economic forces that have defined the rest of the world – notwithstanding its unique governance arrangement, the Antarctic Treaty System.

The book provides a fresh and timely set of contributions that critically explore different practices, attitudes and logics that suggest that colonialism may have been and may still be present in Antarctica, ranging from religion to material culture to the treatment of animals.

The chapters also explore the connection between colonialism and cognate terms like capitalism, socialism, nationalism, and environmentalism. -- .
