“Levi-Strauss continues his assault on the myth of the primitice as savage by turning to the phenomena of totemism an totoemix classification … to show, contrary to this myth, that primitive thought rests upon a rich and complex conceptual structure.” – Commentary

“Levi-Strauss’s consideration of totemism is a theoretical tour de force.” – The Humanist

“An exeptionally brilliant and pathbreaking thinker. Serious students cannot afford to miss this book.” – Library Journal

“From the startling analogy in its very first line to its valedictory bow in the direction of Rousseau, this is a stimulating book.” – American Anthropologist
