Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

'will hold considerable interest to students of exploration and maritime history in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Maddison makes an important contribution by reading Antarctic history through the lens of labour relations and by locating that history within the wider network of imperial political and economic power relations.' Journal of Historical Geography 'well written and fascinating ... a valuable contribution not only to the history of Antarctic expeditions but also to the history of European expansion overseas.' Imperial & Global Forum 'for libraries interested in Marxist dialectical analysis.' CHOICE
