Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), gilt lettering, illustrated endpapers, xxvi, 204 pp. Very Good, with light rubbing to spine and bookshop's stamp to half-title. From Perspective: This book is about the economic achievements of a preliterature society, the eighteenth-century Negro kingdom of Dahomey. The focus is on the rise of Dahomey and its adjustment to that unique episode of world commerce, the modern slave trade that erupted in Dahomey's backyard. The perspective of the work as a whole is, however, anything but antiquarian. Conceived as an economic historian's modest contirubtion to meeting the problems of his own age, our analytical sketch is presented in the conviction that a realistic view of great socioeconomic changes, wherever and whenever enacted, broadens out horizon and advances the search for solutions. Yet even if some features of the past would seem to offer lessons for our own time, we must still beware of idealizing backward worlds. Fear, that architect of power, is swinging in our days the axis of men's lives away from the economic order of thins and toward the political and moral order. Bare physical survival, freedom, and a morally meaningful existence are the imperatives of the immediate future. Contrary to appearances, it is not material livelihood, but survival and human integrity that are the emergent issues. The magnitude of the shift sets the perspective of this book.

EXCERPT: INTRODUCTION . . . The 1977-78 lectures, delivered at Laval, Queen's and Simon Fraser universities, focussed on "Goals for Canada". Not surprisingly, a central theme was nationalism: the need for a coherent sense of cultural and economic nationalism in English Canada both as a means of understanding Quebec and giving substance to our symbols of nationhood . . . The three lectures combine to identify, in a perceptive and scholarly fashion, major challenges and opportunities facing Canada today. How we respond to them will do much to shape the future of our country. - Beland Honderich, Chairman and Publisher, The Toronto Star Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hardback. Condition: New. The French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss scoured the Amazon forest for the myths of its primitive peoples. He found that a certain logic governed the construction of these myths-his mythologique; he regarded this logic as innate in the human mind and thus universal. Despite this claim of universality, Lévi-Strauss deliberately sidestepped the myths of the biblical religions as well as the myths of modern societies. This proved to be a missed opportunity since these myths lend themselves very well to his mode of analysis. The apocalyptic narrative is the ongoing myth of Western society. It makes its first appearance in the Bible in the story of the Exodus and in the Passion of Christ. Its characteristic feature is its opening scenario of one or another form of unendurable oppression- whether the Pharaoh in Egypt for the Jews or the bondage of the body for Christians. "Lord and servant" is the binary pair that prevails and through a process of inversion leads to the Kingdom of Heaven (celestial or terrestrial). The work of Augustine and Luther follow suit as surprisingly enough, do the Lutheran Hegel and the Hegelian Marx. In every case, the initial oppression is inverted and a sublime destination ensues. A demonic version of the same apocalyptic narrative appears in the 1930s. The Nazis point to their own tale of "oppression" of the German people and in the same fashion proclaim the Dritte Tausendjährige Reich. It is a terrible irony but perhaps Lévi-Strauss's mythologique may help us to see through the "glass" a little less darkly.
