The Apotheosis of Captain Cook: European Mythmaking in the Pacific Paperback - 1997
by Gananath Obeyesekere
Anthropologist 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 the person who, his mission gone awry, becomes a "savage" himself. 14 halftones.
