520 _aArgonauts of the Western Pacific was a milestone in anthropological research and interpretation, and of particular interest to students of symbolism. The main concern of this classic text is a careful study of the Kula, the extensive and complex trading system maintained by natives of the Trobriand Islands, between themselves and neighboring islanders. Special attention is given to the role played by magic in the institution of the Kula, the social organization of the natives, and their mythology and folklore. -- Amazon.
