Rarely do science and literature come together in the same book. When they do -- as in Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, for example -- they become classics, quoted and studied by scholars and the general public alike. Margaret Mead accomplished this remarkable feat not once but several times, beginning with Coming of Age in Samoa. It details her historic journey to American Samoa, taken where she was just twenty-three, where she did her first fieldwork. Here, for the first time, she presented to the public the idea that the individual experience of developmental stages could be shaped by cultural demands and expectations. Adolescence, she wrote, might be more or less stormy, and sexual development more or less problematic in different cultures. The "civilized" world, she taught us had much to learn from the "primitive." Now this groundbreaking, beautifully written work as been reissued for the centennial of her birth, featuring introductions by Mary Pipher and by Mead's daughter, Mary Catherine Bateson. Annotation.

[I have deleted my review because of repeated ad hominem attacks. I thought that readers might reasonably disagree - even strenuously - with the reviews of others but without attacking the reviewer. It had not occurred to me that anyone - anyone - would become so personally incensed by a review as to attack the reviewer, make false accusations against & insinuations of evil motives towards a reviewer.] ( )
Coming of Age in Samoa: A Study of Adolescence and Sex in Primitive Societies. MEAD, Margaret. Published by Penguin Books (1966) About this Item: Harmondsworth: Penguin Books, 1966. 18 x 11 cm. 240 pp. Pelican Book
This should have all the things I like in a book, but it had almost none of them. Culture, society human nature etc., and then to realize she is highly criticized for not presenting these truthfully? This left me feeling cheated and wasting my time. I also found it very hard to read and make sense of her issues and points? She was obviously in her own dream world. ( )
