Abstract
Tristes tropiques was first published in 1955. A best seller in France, it secured the position of Claude Lévi-Strauss (1908–2009) in French public intellectual life. Simultaneously ethnography and autobiography, Tristes tropiques is notable for its articulation of a powerful critique of Western notions of progress and civilization and problems of pollution and racism. The book merits attention not only for those interested in Lévi-Strauss, it also provides key insights into developments in structuralism and anthropology.
