{"product_id":"claude-levi-strauss-9780226469683","title":"Claude Levi-Strauss","description":"In this lucide guide to the often abstruse works of Claude Lévi-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 Lévi-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 Lévi-Strauss and a critical analysis that will prove valuable to those more familiar with the anthropologist's work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdmund Leach\u003c\/b\u003e (1910-1989) was professor of social anthropology at Cambridge University and the author of numerous books, including \u003ci\u003eRethinking Anthropology\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCulture and Communication\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50844127101202,"sku":"9780226469683","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_9cf20096-36b8-4890-b553-a2f8e1f7c016.jpg?v=1737312142","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/claude-levi-strauss-9780226469683","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
