OBEYESEKERE, Gananath - APOTHEOSIS OF CAPTAIN COOK, THE. Princeton Uniiversity/Bishop Museum, 1992. Boards with dj. 251pp. 240mm x 160mm. Cook discovered the Hawaiian islands in 1778 and was hailed by the native peoples as their returning god Lono. On a return trip he was killed in what anthropologists and historians interpret as a ritual sacrifice of the fertility god. The author, Professor of Anthropology at Princeton, questions the circumstances surrounding Cook’s so-called divinity - or apotheosis - and his death, and debunks one of the most enduring myths of imperialism, civilisation and conquest: the notion that the western civiliser is a god to savages.
