Claude Lévi-Strauss (LBE): A Critical Study of His Thought

Claude Lévi-Strauss (LBE): A Critical Study of His Thought

One of the worldâ€™s leading anthropologists assesses the work of the founder of structural anthropology
As a young man, Maurice Godelier was Claude LÃ©vi-Straussâ€™s assistant. Since then, Godelier has drawn on this experience to develop a profound and intimate grasp on the writings of his former teacher, one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Meticulously researched, LÃ©vi-Strauss: A Critical Study of His Thought will prove indispensable to students of LÃ©vi-Strauss and to structural anthropologists more generally. It is a compelling and comprehensive study destined to become the definitive work on the evolution of LÃ©vi-Straussâ€™s ideas, at the heart of which lies his analysis of kinship and myth.
