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 more, the way in which Endore uses the contradictions inherent in Western slavery to unmask the ideology of exploitation.

Email to your group (and to me) by 8 p.m. the day before class.
