Here Gananath Obeyesekere debunks one of the most enduring myths of imperialism, civilization, and conquest: the notion that the Western civilizer is a god to savages. Using shipboard journals and logs kept by Captain James Cook and his officers, Obeyesekere reveals the captain as both the self-conscious civilizer and as the person who, his mission gone awry, becomes a ""savage"" himself. In this new edition of The Apotheosis of Captain Cook, the author addresses, in a lengthy afterword, Marshall Sahlins''s 1994 book, How ""Natives"" Think, which was a direct response to this work. | The Apotheosis of Captain Cook by Gananath Obeyesekere Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > History > Asian History P10103, Gananath Obeyesekere<
