Publisher's Synopsis
Uncivilized Civilization is a book written by Morris Schwartzberg and published in 1920. The book explores the concept of civilization and the ways in which it has been used to justify colonialism and imperialism. Schwartzberg argues that civilization is often used as a tool of domination, and that it has been used to justify the exploitation of non-Western peoples and cultures. He also examines the ways in which Western civilization has been shaped by non-Western cultures, and argues that the idea of a pure and superior Western civilization is a myth. The book is a critique of the idea of civilization as a universal and objective standard, and argues for a more nuanced understanding of cultural diversity and difference. It is a thought-provoking and challenging work that remains relevant today, as debates about cultural imperialism and globalization continue to shape our world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
