Antarctica, a continent devoid of an indigenous population, has been shaped by political and economic forces similar to those that have defined the rest of the world. However, its unique governance arrangement, the Antarctic Treaty System, sets it apart. This book offers a fresh and timely exploration of colonialism's presence in Antarctica, examining various practices, attitudes, and logics that suggest its enduring impact. The chapters delve into religion, material culture, animal treatment, and the connections between colonialism and related concepts such as capitalism, socialism, nationalism, and environmentalism. By examining these aspects, the book contributes to our understanding of the past and present of Antarctica and the limits of colonialism as an analytic concept.
