Accidental gods : on men unwittingly turned divine / Anna Della Subin

by Anna Della Subin

This global history examines the deification of humans over five centuries, from imperialists to political leaders. It explores the impulse to create man-gods as an assertion of power and analyses the connection between colonial divinity and the historical concept of race.
