Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1982. 1st US. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Hardcover in a lightly worn, chipped dust jacket. 249 pages, b&w photos. The book is almost entirely about trying to understand the deep meaning of the unusual-looking Sxwayxwey* mask of the Coast Salish, by referring to the origin myths, dances and costumes associated with it. A large part of the book attempts to clarify this by contrasting and comparing it with the Tsonoqua mask which is associated with several tribal groups from various parts of coastal British Columbia. He weaves a huge matrix of elements of the masks, the dance costumes, the dances, the origin myths, related myths, and only kind-of-sort-of related myths. Clean copy. Record # 382723

London: Jonathan Cape, 1983. 1st UK Edition. hardbound. Very Good in Very Good dustwrapper/Dustwrapper. 8vo. b&w and colour illustrations Claude Levi-Strauss' study of the Swaihwe mask, found among certain tribes of coastal British Columbia - The Salish Swaihwe, The Kwakiutl Xwexwe, Dzonokwa Myths, and much more; colour plates, numerous b&w illustrations; translated by Sylvia Modelski; Very Good and clean throughout; dustwrapper very lightly rubbed, o.w. Very Good.

Claude Levi-Strauss's book is a vivid illustration of his provocative structural approach to tribal art and culture. He uses as a focal point the Swaihwe mask found in British Columbia. Bringing to bear on the Swaihwe masks his theory that mythical representations cannot be understood as isolated objects, Levi-Strausss began to look for links among them, as well as relationships between these and other types of masks and myths, treating them all as parts of a dialogue that has been going on for generations among neighbouring tribes. A provocative and entertaining read, punctuated by many black and white and colour photos.
