The Structural Study of Myth and Totemism is written by Edmund Ronald Leach and published by Psychology Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0415330726 (ISBN 10) and 9780415330725 (ISBN 13).
Designed to provoke controversy, the papers in this volume concentrate on two main themes: the study of myth and totemism. Starting with an English translation of La Geste d'Asdiwal, which is widely considered to be the most brilliant of all of Lévi-Strauss's shorter expositions of his technique of myth analysis, the volume also contains criticism of this essay. The second part of the volume discusses how far Lévi-Strauss's treatment of totemism as a system of category formation can be correlated with the facts that an ethnographer encounters in the field. First published in 1967.
