Michèle H. Richman examines this seemingly paradoxical development in this book which traces the overall implications for French social thought of the ""ethnographic detour"" that began with Durkheim's interest in Australian aboriginal religion-implications that reach back to the Revolution of 1789 and forward to the student protests of May 1968.Contradictions (Minneapolis, Minn.) ;14.SociologyFranceHistorySociologyHistory.301/.0944Richman Michèle H1504152MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784201803321Sacred revolutions3733001UNINA
