Inhaltsangabe:
Considered shocking when it was first published in 1928, Coming of Age in Samoa became the first book in the field of anthropology to capture the imagination of the general public. And for the ingenious young author, Margaret Mead, it marked the beginning of her long career as one of the most innovative thinkers – and remarkable women – of our time. For her landmark study the 23-year-old Dr. Mead had set out to determine whether the stress experienced by most children is a “natural” result of growing up. She traveled alone to the then unspoiled island of Samoa, living among the youth to compare their culture to our own. To truly understand a different culture she would remind us, every word, grunt, stomach ache, change of apparel, snatch of song is …. relevant.
Reseña del editor: This book is the outstanding and most frequently cited work in the field of Anthropology. It made the author world-famous and established her as the leader in her field for the next 50 years. One of the reasons this book became so famous was her observation that young Samoan women deferred marriage for many years while enjoying casual sex before eventually choosing a husband. This led to the Sexual Revolution that swept America in the 1960s and brought about the establishment of the Sexual Freedom League and other organizations. The Free Love generation idolized Margaret Mead.
