Paperback. Condizione: Good. When Western scholars write about non-Western societies, do they inevitably perp etuate the myths of European imperialism? Can they ever articulate the meanings and logics of non-Western peoples? Who has the right to speak for whom? Question s such as these are among the most hotly debated in contemporary intellectual li fe. In How Natives Think, Marshall Sahlins addresses these issues head on, while building a powerful case for the ability of anthropologists working in the Western tradition to understand other cultures. In recent years, t hese questions have arisen in debates over the death and deification of Captain James Cook on Hawai'i Island in 1779.

Curiously then, as Sahlins shows, Obeyesekere turns eighteenth-ce ntury Hawaiians into twentieth-century modern Europeans, living up to the highes t Western standards of practical rationality. By contrast, Western scholars ar.…
