More about the book
The late renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead's major field-work study COMING OF AGE IN SAMOA became the key text in the nature-nurture controversy and a reference point for the social and sexual revolution of the 1960s. Derek Freeman's book, updated here with a new Foreword, refutes Mead's work, claiming she was misinformed by Samoan natives regarding the sexual proclivities of their culture.
