The Potlatch Papers: A Colonial Case History New edition
Christopher Bracken
Described as an exchange of gifts, a system of banking or a struggle for prestige, the potlatch is one of the founding concepts of anthropology. This book shows that the potlatch was invented by the 19th-century Canadian law which sought to destroy it, generating a batch of "potlatch papers".
