Description
Marcel Mauss' seminal essay, The Gift, is a cornerstone of anthropology. This expanded edition returns to its original context, featuring the works that framed its first publication in the 1923-24 issue of L'Année Sociologique.
Included alongside the "Essay on the Gift" are Mauss' memorial accounts of his colleagues who were lost during World War I, as well as scholarly reviews of influential contemporaries. This collection provides a nuanced understanding of Mauss' intellectual milieu and his aspirations for modern society's recuperation of the gift.
With a critical foreword by Bill Maurer and a new introduction by translator Jane Guyer, this edition sets the scene for a whole new generation of readers to study The Gift alongside pieces that exhibit erudition, political commitment, and generous collegial exchange.
