In this lucide guide to the often abstruse works of Claude
Levi-Strauss, Edmund Leach synthesizes the thought of one of the
twentieth century's greatest anthropologists and provides a
thoughtful introduction to the theory and practice of
structuralism. Leach organizes his work not by chronology but by
theme, exploring three important topics in Levi-Strauss's work:
human beings and their symbols, the structure of myth, and kinship
theory. Written concisely and with great care and penetration, this
brief book is both a fine introduction for the uninitiated reader
of Levi-Strauss and a critical analysis that will prove valuable to
those more familiar with the anthropologist's work.
