One of the most widely read books in the social sciences, Purity and Danger established Mary Douglas as one of the twentieth century's leading social scientists. She delves in great detail into existing arguments that portray traditional societies as “evolving†from “savage†beliefs and explains why she believes those arguments are wrong.
