Structural Anthropology

Anthropologie structurale

This book is a collection of articles published over the years by the author, representing his most significant achievements in anthropological research. These articles have been selected and arranged to provide readers unfamiliar with anthropology with a framework for understanding the discipline's issues. Furthermore, through several representative examples, it introduces the direction of anthropology's development and the problems it can address. The book discusses the relationship between ethnology and history, the customs and institutions of American Indian societies, and the relationship between anthropology and linguistics and psychology. It examines anthropology's place within the broader social sciences and the teaching of anthropology. It also illuminates the past and future of the discipline, defines the field of anthropology's work, and outlines the prospects for the problems it raises.
