Coming of Age in Samoa - (Perennial Classics) by Margaret Mead (Paperback)

Margaret Mead's Coming of Age in Samoa is a groundbreaking book that revolutionized our understanding of childhood and culture.

In this classic work, originally published in 1930, Mead presents her historic fieldwork in American Samoa, where she challenged the traditional view of life by demonstrating how cultural demands and expectations shape individual developmental stages.

With a keen eye for detail, Mead explores the idea that sexuality is culturally-shaped, adolescence need not be stressful, and the lives of adolescent girls are worthy of attention and respect.

This reissued centennial edition features introductions by Mary Pipher, Ph.D., and Mead's daughter, Mary Catherine Bateso, making it an essential read for anyone interested in anthropology, sociology, or simply understanding the complexities of human development.
