Class and Colonialism in Antarctic Exploration, 1750-1920 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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.
