About the Book:The eighteen essays collected in this volume have been selected and ordered to give what Lvi-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 Lvi-Strauss’s interests.”–Daniel Bell, New York Times Book Review
