Structural Anthropology, Volume 2Allen Lane, 1977 - 383 pages The eighteen essays collected in this volume have been selected and ordered to give what Levi-Strauss terms "a bird's-eye view of the problems of modern ethnology." As representative examples, these essays introduce readers to the methods of structural anthropology while affording a glimpse into the mind of one of the foremost anthropologists of our time. ""Structural Anthropology, Volume II" is a diverse collection. It is] a useful 'sampler' that gives a reader the full range of Levi-Strauss's interests."--Daniel Bell, "New York Times Book Review " |
