Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. "The New Golden Bough" is James Frazer's classic anthropological work edited and abridged by Theodore H. Gaster. This is the Second Printing of Gaster's edited abridgment, complete with notes and a Foreword, issued in 1965 by S. G. Phillips in New Jersey. Frazer's original work, first issued in twelve volumes in 1890 in England, was a "pioneer study in magic and religion" that completely changed the course of anthropological thinking, and, along with its supplementary volume ("Aftermath"), became the crowning masterpiece of what was, then, a fairly new field of study. The following is excerpted from the dust-jacket's write-up : "A pioneer study in magic and religion that links the primitive concepts and modes of thought to the many institutions and folk customs they underlie, "The Golden Bough" was a milestone in the interpretation of man's past. No other work in the field of anthropology contributed so much to the mental and artistic climate of our times. What Freud did for the individual, Frazer did for civilization as a whole. Tracing the evolution of human behavior from the 'savage' to the civilized through his studies of magic, taboos, sexual practices, superstitions, and wizardry, and locating from these the basis and roots of contemporary social, scientific, and religious ideas, Frazer built a magnificent behavioral bridge from the past to the present. "This completely new, revised, one-volume abridgment . preserves the original thesis, structure, and documentation - while omitting those subsidiary and incidental elements which recent research has rendered obsolete or untenable. Holding to the eight divisions of the original, Dr. Gaster has divided them into sub-topics , and again, into paragraphs numbered for easy cross-reference. Gaster has improved the internal order of the sub-topics, cut away excess verbiage, and included comprehensive notes not available before in earlier editions. Where he has cut, or condensed outdated material, new commentary and connective material have been added. Notes, a complete index, and the text proper are all carefully coordinated and a valuable synopsis, general preface, and a substantial foreword analyzing Frazer's work and comparing it with this abridgment are included. "The New Golden Bough" gives the reader easy, logical access to one of the richest works of the human imagination, and restores it as a living, working classic and an indispensable reference work."

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a critical examination of the East African slave trade, providing a powerful and detailed account of the brutal realities of the system as it existed in the 19th century. The author, a European resident of Zanzibar, offers a first-hand perspective on the trade's inner workings and its devastating impact on the lives of countless Africans. The book delves into the specific conditions of enslaved people in Zanzibar, exploring the dynamics of their lives on plantations and in the town, and the complex relationships between slaves and their Arab masters. The author examines the justifications and legal frameworks surrounding slavery, highlighting the hypocrisy of a system that, despite efforts to curtail the trade, continued to thrive under the guise of legality. The book further explores the inadequacy of the measures proposed by the British government to suppress the trade and offers powerful criticisms of the often-inhumane treatment of freed slaves. Ultimately, the author urges readers to confront the uncomfortable truth about the extent of British involvement in the trade, exposing the tragic consequences of a system built on economic gain and blind to the fundamental human rights of those enslaved. This book serves as a stark reminder of the enduring legacy of slavery and its far-reaching consequences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
