A World On The Wane (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163804650)

""A World On The Wane"" is a thought-provoking book written by the eminent French anthropologist, Claude Levi-Strauss. In this book, Levi-Strauss explores the concept of cultural change and how it affects different societies around the world. He argues that the modern world is witnessing a decline in traditional cultures, which is leading to a loss of diversity and richness in human experience.Levi-Strauss draws on his extensive fieldwork and research to provide a comprehensive analysis of the forces that are driving cultural change. He examines the impact of globalization, technology, and economic development on traditional societies, and how these changes are affecting their social structures, values, and beliefs.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the concept of cultural change and its historical context. The second part explores the impact of globalization on traditional societies, while the third part focuses on the challenges and opportunities that arise from cultural change.Throughout the book, Levi-Strauss emphasizes the importance of preserving cultural diversity and the need for societies to find a balance between tradition and modernity. He argues that cultural change is not necessarily a bad thing, but it must be managed carefully to avoid the loss of valuable cultural heritage.Overall, ""A World On The Wane"" is a fascinating and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the complex issues of cultural change and globalization. It is a must-read for anyone interested in anthropology, sociology, or cultural studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
