Paperback. Etat : Good. First Norton Paperback Edition. A foundational work in social anthropology, this is the 1967 Norton paperback edition of Marcel Mauss's seminal study, "The Gift." First published in English in 1954, Mauss's groundbreaking research explores the intricate relationship between forms of exchange and social structure across various archaic societies. Drawing on extensive case studies from Melanesia, Polynesia, and northwestern North America, Mauss demonstrates how gift exchange functions as a 'total system' deeply embedded at the core of society, influencing legal, economic, religious, and aesthetic aspects of human interaction. A brilliant French sociologist and anthropologist, Mauss's work remains an acclaimed classic, essential for understanding the complexities of human social organization. This copy is presented in good paperback condition. N° de réf. du vendeur SCAN-20-72CAF752
