Synopsis
This classic anthropology text describes the belief systems of a variety of aboriginal cultures from around the world. Radin (affiliation not cited) quotes extensively from interviews he conducted, allowing the subjects to speak for themselves. They discuss topics such as magical rituals, right and wrong, fate, and the nature of personality. The volume is a reprint of the 1956 revised, enlarged Dover edition.
