Description

The Swastika: The Earliest Known Symbol And Its Migrations by Thomas Wilson is a comprehensive exploration of the history and cultural significance of the swastika symbol. The book traces the origins of the symbol, which has been found in artifacts dating back thousands of years, and its migration across different cultures and continents. The author examines the various meanings attached to the symbol by different cultures, including its use as a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, and its adoption by the Nazi party as a symbol of Aryan supremacy and genocide during World War II. The book also explores the contemporary debates surrounding the use of the swastika in modern times, including its use by white supremacist groups and efforts to reclaim the symbol by some members of the Hindu and Buddhist communities. Overall, The Swastika provides a fascinating and nuanced perspective on one of the most controversial symbols in human history.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1894 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
