About the book

Classic work of anthropology, on the social function of gift exchange. First published in French in 1950. First translated into English 1954. Has inspired many subsequent studies of gift-giving.

First sentence: During this research into the extension of contractual gifts, it seemed for a long time as if potlatch proper did not exist in Polynesia.
