Description
Originally published under the title La Voie des masques, Sylvia Modelski has translated Claude Levi-Strauss’ explanation of the tribal masks of coastal British Columbia with reference to kinship ties, incest prohibition and myths.
Reviews
With this book, Claude Levi-Strauss brings his continuing demonstrations of how the collective mind works to some of the richest problems of Northwest Coast scholarship ... Working essentially with what happens at the borders of many Northwest Coast cultures, rather than almost exclusively from within one or two of them, Levi-Strauss has brought a unique and welcome coherence to our scholarship.
