Description
Juxtaposing the seemingly benign names of dead white men that litter our geographies with the details of their so-called discoveries and ‘conquests,’ Dead White Men turns ideas of exploration, finding and keeping back on themselves. Engaging with European exploration and scientific texts from the 15th to the 19th centuries, this book reexamines histories many would like to forget.
