Description
The diary of a black American explorer on his expedition to the North Pole in 1909. The first man to have reached this point on the globe, it was not until 1988 that he was recognized for this feat in front of Frederick Cook and Robert Peary. The preface restores the context anthropological and inter-ethnic relations in the United States at the time, marked by segregation and racism.
