Accidental Gods

On Men Unwittingly Turned Divine

Anna Della Subin

Over the past five centuries, rulers, soldiers and explorers have been proclaimed gods: Haile Selassie by Jamaican Rastafarians, Prince Philip by South Sea islanders, Douglas MacArthur in Panama. This wide-ranging history examines how some, such as Selassie, denied divinity, while Columbus and Cortes exploited it to further their conquests, assessing the impact of the phenomenon on the creation of the modern world.
