Ideology and Class in Endore's _Babouk_
Please pick two or three of the following passages:
(Note: 'separations' refers to a gap of several lines in the
text, meant to set off the text from what follows)
* "The history of the rich", pp. 96-97, beginning with "When, if
ever, has the master heard?" to "...down into the muddy, stinking
field."
* "Liberty! Freedom!", pp. 115-117, from the beginning of the
chapter to the separation on p. 117.
* "Slavery and Wage Slavery, pp. 121-124, from "Suddenly he found
himself queried by Monsieur Odeluc." to the separation on p. 124.
* "Freedom vs Property Rights", pp. 143-144, between the two
separations.
* "Mystery of Private Ownership", pp. 147-148, from the beginning
of the chapter to "...seizes the sword as the real instrument of
ownership."
* "The Bill of Sale", pp. 178-180, between the two separations.
Please discuss, in 300 words or so (30-35 lines, single-spaced, on
Apollo, or 1 page single-spaced on 8 1/2" x 11" typing paper) the way
in which Endore uses the _contradictions_ inherent in Western slavery
to unmask the ideology of exploitation.
