Coming of Age in Samoa

Coming of Age in Samoa

by Margaret Mead

  • CULTURAL PORTRAIT
  • 2001
  • PAPER
  • 223 PAGES

The original, much-debated account of life and development in America Samoa, originally published in 1928. Written when she was just 23 years old, it launched Meade's long career at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Though her conclusions and methods may be in dispute, the book remains a compelling and popular story of the islands.  (PAC12, $14.99)
