Description
The Trickster: A Study in American Indian Mythology by Paul Radin This collection presents the Winnebago Trickster Cycle in its most archaic form, offering a unique glimpse into the earliest expressions of mankind. Anthropological and psychological analyses reveal that the Trickster myth serves as both an archetypal psychic structure and a liberating satire of social order. Radin's work provides insight into the dual role of the Trickster, who embodies both the primal human consciousness and the subversive force that challenges societal norms. This study is accompanied by commentaries from Karl Kerényi and C.G. Jung, as well as an introduction by Stanley Diamond.
