The great cat massacre (PDF)

THIS BOOK grew out of a course, History 406, that I have offered at Princeton University since 1972. Originally an introduction thehistory of mentalites, the course developed into a seminar on historyand anthropology, thanks to the influence of Clifford Geertz, whohas taught the course with me for the last six years and in doing sohas taught me most of what I know about anthropology. I shouldlike to express my gratitude to him and to our students.



I also owea great deal to the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton,where I began writing this book as a member of a program on self-perception and historical change financed by the Andrew W. Mel-lon Foundation. And finally, I would like to thank the John D. andCatherine T. MacArthur Foundation whose award of a prize fel-lowship made it possible for me to suspend my normal work inorder to follow up and finish what must have appeared to be a riskyenterprise.
