More about the book
Exploring the complexities of gift-giving, this book delves into its socio-ethical implications and integrative potential. It begins with a contemporary overview of motives and rules surrounding gift exchanges, then invites readers to reflect on historical practices like sacrifice and food-sharing, which form the foundation of traditional societies. The evolution of hospitality is also examined, leading to a deeper analysis of the anthropology of giving and its significance across cultures.
