The Classic Collection of Margaret Mead. Illustrated
Coming of Age in Samoa and Growing Up in New Guinea
About this book
The Classic Collection of Margaret Mead brings together two of the most influential works in modern anthropology: Coming of Age in Samoa and Growing Up in New Guinea. In these groundbreaking studies, Margaret Mead explores how culture shapes human development, behavior, and identity. Based on her extensive fieldwork in the South Pacific, Mead presents vivid descriptions of everyday life, traditions, and social structures in societies very different from those of the Western world.
In Coming of Age in Samoa, Mead examines adolescence among Samoan girls and compares their experiences with those of young people in Western societies. She argues that many challenges associated with adolescence are not universal but are strongly influenced by cultural expectations. In Growing Up in New Guinea, Mead continues her research by studying the lives of children in the Manus community, focusing on how cultural practices influence learning, social roles, and personality formation.
Written in a clear and engaging style, Mead's works combine scientific observation with compelling storytelling. Her insights challenged many Western assumptions about childhood, gender roles, and social development, making her research widely discussed and sometimes controversial.
This illustrated edition offers readers an accessible introduction to Mead's pioneering ideas and her lasting impact on anthropology, cultural studies, and our understanding of how societies shape the human experience.
