About This Item
Canberra: Australian National University Press, 1983. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. A very neat, bright copy. Octavo in original tan cloth with gilt lettering to spine. 379 pages including notes, glossary, index, black and white photographs. In 1928 Mead announced in 'Coming of Age in Samoa' her stunning discovery of a culture in which the storm and stress of adolescence does not exist. Freeman presents startling, but wholly convincing evidence that Mead's proof is false. On the basis of years of patient fieldwork and historical research, Freeman refutes Mead's characterisation of Samoan society and adolescence point for point.
