Class and Colonialism in Antarctic Exploration, 1750–1920, Paperback / softback Book

Class and Colonialism in Antarctic Exploration, 1750–1920 Paperback / softback

Part of the Empires in Perspective series

Paperback / softback

Description

Between 1750 and 1920 over 15,000 people visited Antarctica.

Despite such a large number the historiography has ignored all but a few celebrated explorers.

Maddison presents a study of Antarctic exploration, telling the story of these forgotten facilitators, he argues that Antarctic exploration can be seen as an offshoot of European colonialism.
