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.
