Palgrave Studies in the History of Science and Technology: Outer Space, Antarctica, and Cold War Nationalism

Spiller, James

This book compares the cultural politics of the U.S. space and Antarctic programs during the Cold War. It analyzes how culturally salient terms, especially the nationalist motif of the frontier, were used to garner public support for these strategic initiatives and, more generally, United States internationalism during this period.
