À propos de ce produit
Product Information
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.

Reviews
There are so many ways of patronizing the past, [Obeyesekere] as good as says, and one of them is to accept your own culture's version of it. For this reason alone, his book would be stimulating. But there is more, much of it centering around the personality of James Cook himself. That familiar, Queegish figure of a ship's master obsessed with theft, increasingly unhinged by whatever private ghosts ... is surely worth examining., "The whole book is admirable, impeccable, even at times brilliant."-- Simon Schama, The Washington Times, Winner of the 1992 Louis Gottschalk Prize, American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Winner of the 1993 Award for Best Professional/Scholarly Book in History, Association of American Publishers, "Without question the most provocative reassessment of the famed explorer's demise.... Obeyesekere has made a persuasive case for his counternarrative of Captain Cook, strongly supporting it with a fine-grained analysis of an impressive array of cultural material, some of it long submerged...."-- Amy Burce, The Sciences, A fascinating and important book . . .
