First published in 1972.
A revival of interest in primitive religion has been one of the most marked characteristics of British social anthropology of recent years.

The contributors include: Raymond Firth, Esther Goody, Aidan Southall, R.G. Abrahams, Edwin Ardener, J.S. La Fontaine, Monica Wilson, Elizabeth Bott, Edmund Leach and P.H. Gulliver.
