Description
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"

Quite differant from the English empirical tradition but a tour de force - especially Chapter 1 on History and Anthropology.

I feel like such a butt giving this book a one star, but it's not that the book is bad -- it's not. It's just that I didn't like it, precisely what the * rating says.
I'm thankful, though. Made me realise that Anthropology is not for me, despite all the other allure of this course.
