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.

Author Biography:

Ben Maddison teaches Australian history and historical and social theory at the University of Wollongong, where his research interests include polar and exploration history. His research interests developed in the context of his employment as a historian on Antarctic eco-advernture tourist ships. Class and Colonialism in Antarctic Exploration is his first single-authored monograph.
