Crime and Custom in Savage Society

Focusing on the social and economic practices of Melanesian society, this significant anthropological work draws from Kasper Malinowski's studies on the Trobriand Islands. Originally published in 1929, it captures the customs of a rapidly vanishing culture, highlighting Malinowski's influential contributions to social anthropology. The new edition features a specially-commissioned biography of the author, celebrating his legacy and impact in the field.
