This book is a field study of how ceremonialism is continued in Navajo society with certain comparison with related Chinese and Tibetan cases. The continuation of tradition or culture is a central issue in cultural anthropology. The author’s ambition is to construct models, based on fieldwork, of the processes by which a tradition or culture is continued in societies at different levels of social and economic development. This book, as dealing with a preliterate and simple society, is a first attempt at such a model.
本书旨在探讨北美最大的印第安族群——拿瓦侯族如何传承和延续「传统」，并比较儒学在中国社会传承的状况。本书是台湾研究美洲原住民文化的先驱著作，曾于1971年由中央研究院民族学研究所出版；此次借由重新出版的机会，作者新增一篇内容为第六章且重新作序，亦修订原书内容，因此内容更为丰富、确实，具有参阅与收藏的价值。
