Coming Of Age I Samoa

Margaret Mead American Museum Of Natural History-Anthropology Used Paperback Cover has wear mostly around the edges and corners. Spine has no creasing. Pages are clean no internal tears, marks, or creases.    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."   X-2
